Description

This incredible perennial shade plant can be best described as the XXL-version of the popular 'Jack Frost', but with a unique twist. ‘Jack of Diamonds’ boasts enormous leaves that span across a 25 cm (!) diameter and overlap dramatically at the base. The heart-shaped foliage features a stunning silver overlay that is accentuated by bold dark green veining. In mid to late spring, clusters of baby blue blossoms reminiscent of forget-me-nots emerge above the foliage.
