Are there any Hearts that have "normal" or even PL foliage?

Last post by Greatgardens « Wed Jan 15, 2025 1:03 pm

by Greatgardens » Wed Jan 15, 2025 1:03 pm

I've grown several Hearts, but they have all had sparse ( wispy ) foliage.

Any dwarf Hearts the have normal foliage? It would probably be rugose for dwarfs.
