It produces abundant trusses of large, fragrant, bright orange flowers borne before and while the leaves are emerging in spring with its bright green leaves with creamy marbled flecks. The bright flower clusters of this  variety that really steals the show. Tolerating heavy frost, drought, and hot and humid conditions, Don's Variegated is a perfect selection for gardens in the South.
