    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Offers amazing winter colour when the large, green leaves turn red to burnished maroon. Strong deep pink flowers rise from the clumps in spring.

    By: Phoenix Perennials and Specialty Plants Ltd.

    Amidst a compact base of lustrous greenery, glistening deep rosy red Hyacinth-like blooms herald the spring and later, leaves transmute bronzed wine tints that warm winters' somber landscape. With its tidy habit, this gem is well-suited for edging a path or for gracing a container at any time of year. (PP#7344)

    Burgundy blushed foliage in winter topped by rose-pink flowers in spring. Plants reach 14" tall and spread 12". The Blooms of Bressingham consider it the best red-leafed variety available.

    Compact 12-14"clumps of bronzy-red leaves are as much a treasure in the fall-winter garden as its deep rosy-red flowers are in early spring; glossy green summer leaves useful in arrangements. PSh-Shade/Med(notdry) PPatent7344

    The mound of rounded, deep green leaves are up to 8" long. The foliage is maroon on the underside, and will turn beet red in the winter. In the spring, flowers of a very intense red are borne on nodding cymes. Will get 1' tall.
