Another Wow!...Incredibly ruffled leaves, chocolate on the top, burgundy underneath, are topped by 30" purple spikes of tiny flowers peeking through the ruffles. PSh-Sh/M PP8965 EU3954
A clump forming, evergreen perennial. In spring tall spikes of small white flowers appear. A delightful foliage plant for light shade. Remove old leaves as required and provide with plenty of food and organic matter.
