Reviews

The plants arrived in great condition. The plants are already in my garden and have just started blooming. I love the foliage and blossom color combination. They provide a nice contrast in my perennial flower garden as well

We moved into a home that already established this plant. I love this plant. It has beautiful colored leaves (greener towards the bottom and dark purple black towards the top). I love having them sprinkled all over our backyard.
