    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Like the other Dancing Lady's with a beautiful pendant purple blossom with yellow sepals. What makes this cultivar so special is the delightful maroon/red leaf color. This is my favorite Globba blooming profusely all summer. It thrives in partial shade and is wonderful as a potted plant.
