Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Heirloom biennial from Grandma’s garden, compact mounds of heart shaped leaves generously mottled with dark purple topped tall wands of fragrant magenta flowers in mid spring followed by stems of flat papery pearl seedpods the size and shape of silver dollars…these can last for years in dried arrangements! Sun to part shade, prefers moisture but survives some dry shade. Self-sows. Attracts bees, hummers and butterflies.

Add instant interest to your shade garden with the deep purple, heart shaped leaves of this rare “Money Plant” from the garden of the famous designer & author Rosemary Verey. Forming a pretty clump to 2’ across, it’s topped in Spring with bright violet blooms on branching stems to 3’ tall. Super easy, it self-sows forever, so you’ll have more to plant here & there as you like. Of course, everyone loves the dried seed clusters of translucent “coins” so useful in dried arrange ments – these are purple! Not fussy about soil, though rich, loamy soil is best. Can be grown in sun along the coast.
