A recently developed strain created by Robin White at Blackthorn Nursery. Compact plants with pronounced silvery grey, marbled foliage and pink-flushed green flowers often with purple stems. Closer to H. lividus than its other parent, H. argutifolius. Performs well in southern Australia but as with all the caulescent group they prefer some direct sun and good air movement. Great accent plants and a good cut flower.
