    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Old fashioned garden plant nearly lost to obscurity and brought back to us by the garden of Cistus friend Derick Pitman. To 3' or so, the leaves purple above and even pink purple underneath, topped with bluish flowers. In the garden the perfect plant for that under-the-Camellia spot. Deciduous in the low to mid 20 °F, resprouts from the low to mid teens -- so let's say USDA zone 8. Prefers reliable moisture. Fabulous container plant.
