Plant Features

When it comes to shade-loving perennials, Jack of Diamonds stands out as a giant, show-stopping version of the classic Jack Frost—but with an escargot-like twist. The huge, overlapping leaves form a rosette at the base, creating a striking circular look from a distance. Each 9-10 inch leaf sports a heavy silver overlay with deep, bold green veins, making it a real standout in the foliage department.

In mid to late spring, this beauty adds a dash of charm with baby blue, forget-me-not flowers that hover above the striking leaves. Not only is Jack of Diamonds a feast for the eyes, but it's also deer-resistant and perfect for adding a bold touch to shade gardens, containers, or mass plantings. Plus, it’s bee-friendly, so your garden will get some extra buzz!

Like all Proven Winners National Perennials of the Year®, this plant brings both beauty and practicality to the table—low maintenance and stunning foliage all season long.
