    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Grown particularly for its mound of large handsome purplish leaves, but also for the contrasting orangey -yellow daisy flowers held above the foliage. Dramatic effect in a shady spot or beside a water feature. Leaves will be green with a burgundy infusion in deep shade but in more sun leaves become more burgundy. Avoid afternoon sun as plants will likely wilt in these conditions unless kept very moist.

    One of the most handsome of plants(G.S.Thomas) with large, leathery heart-shaped leaves, purple beneath, & bright-orange daisy-like flowers held well above the foliage; its bold leaves look nice with lacy ferns. PSh/Med(not dry)
