Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of the most colorful plants around, this primarily winter grower emerges with the deepest of burgundy purple leaves then adds intermittent coral-peach, 2 cm flowers from autumn or winter into mid spring. Can easily be kept going through summer in cool climates but happily summer dormant in pots. Excellent container plant, or very small scale groundcover, best in sun. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8.
