H.sternii 'Clifton' has dark green, leathery leaves that are quite large, heavily serrated, pointed and uniform to look at. The leaves have silvery veins and the stems are quite red. Like most H x sternii flowers, 'Clifton' has lime-green flowers, blushed pink/maroon on their backs. The flowers are long living and are still quite attractive well after fertilisation. A great plant for a dry site.
