'Thunderbird' Foamybells

Sometimes we run into a new perennial such as 'Thunderbird' foamybells that's so colorful it's almost hard to describe. This amazing introduction produces beautiful, finely cut, golden leaves with brick-red centers and golden veins. What's more, in late spring, the plants send up pink buds that open to pinkish-white flowers. 'Thunderbird' thrives in light shade (some sun intensifies the leaf color) and is resistant to heat and humidity.
