Reviews

I think I’m going to love it… It is still pretty small. It is still healthy and I do like the deep color of the leaves amongst my ferns and hosta. I thought it would grow this summer, but is this a plant that grows bigger every year?

Striking Plant

The deep purple foliage is really striking, as are the yellow daisy like flowers in late summer. Only drawback is that this is a thirsty plant, and requires hand watering in partially sunny areas. Still a unique and dynamic plant.
