The leaves are corrugated, wavy and thick, which helps them resist slugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt forms a clump about 20 inches tall and 3½ feet wide and tolerates full sun, which deepens the gold. Pale lavender, open bell flowers appear in good numbers on 24-inch stems in mid to late summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA mounded clump about 20 inches tall and 42 inches wide of large, heart-shaped, thick leaves with a corrugated, wavy surface. Leaf color ranges from chartreuse in shade to bright gold in sun. In mid to late summer, stems about 24 inches tall carry many pale lavender, open bell-shaped flowers.
