Nursery contributed plant descriptions

As versatile as it is pretty, this 6-8" mounder stays compact and produces its purple flowers all summer; ideal for container or border. S-PSh/M
Topping a tidy, low growing bluish grey-green mound of deeply lobed, attractive foliage, the enticing cup-shaped flowers are distinctively coloured in reddish plum hues accentuated by a close network of darker veins that converge towards a dark central eye. The bountiful blooms keep coming all summer long, and there's an autumn encore when leaves take on shades of purple, red or orange. Carefree.
Gray green deeply lobed leaves bear reddish plum flowers with dark veining and dark eye. 4" tall and 12" wide. PP12829
