This is a choice form from England with bronzy leaves and cheery sunny flowers so you'll never have to miss sunshine in Fogust as they call August in Port Townsend. Easy to care for and increases each year. Just cut the old leaves off in the Fall. It's ok to cut the flowers to bring the outside in.
