‘Vulcan’ is a vigorous, white-centered sport of ‘Captain Kirk’. We are very impressed with its excellent growth rate and light colored center that does not melt out. Contrasting dark green margins and lighter yellow coloring jet towards the white center of each broad, heart-shaped leaf. White scapes carry the light lavender flowers just above the foliage in mid to late summer.
Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soils in part shade to full shade. Tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions. Does best in rich, moist, organic soils in light, sun-dappled shade. Divide plants as needed in spring or autumn (perhaps easiest in early spring before the leaves unfurl). (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Gardens Plant Finder)
