    Zn 4. Dark purple leaves with frilly edges.

    By: Little Prince of Oregon

    Dark purple frilly foliage, the texture of petticoats, adorns this tough beauty. Placed first for winter foliage at one of the top horticultural shows during one of Holland's toughest winters. Great landscape plant.
