Hedera colchica 'Batami'

Colchicine indeed, King Kong could swing from this one. With monstrous nearly foot long leaves it's hardly recognizable as an ivy; it has tetraploid vigor and then some. A named selection that Hinkley got from Roy Lancaster, this has been in two of the finest private gardens in the world. I wish I knew how they find time to trek around and maintain a garden, we go nowhere, and still have little time for our private gardens.
