This second Zimmerman hybrid for this year is remarkable for its pinkish marginal teeth, which are broad and flattened as if extruded through a cheese grater. These can be joined at the base of the leaf to form a ribbon-like margin while the gray-green leaf surface is studded with irregular teeth, some like elongated molars, others just conical points. The origin of the cultivar name is … well, secret, but the parentage includes prior Zimmerman hybrids ‘Confetti’ and ‘In Tatters’. HBG 127580, plants from tissue culture. $15.
