A completely new novelty form of the well-known "Maltese Cross". Deepest scarlet flower open in compact bunches above stems clad in white-splashed leaves. The white flashes sometimes only appear as the plants grow larger, and the unique and unstable mutation that has produced these seeds will also produce some plants with pure green leaves, and the occasional ones with white leaves but these can be discarded. Pure green stems appearing on the parent plant should also be removed. This is the first ever release of these few seeds that have been collected.
