Nursery contributed plant descriptions

'Cheryl's Shadow' has incredible lush maroon foliage held on matching stems all in a politely compact mound. In spring small light pink flowers are produced that contrast surprisingly with the dark display of leaves. Place it in the foreground of the perennial garden for attractive, distinct foliage, even when not in flower or use it in containers.
Gorgeous maroon to chocolate-brown foliage complements the charming small pale-pink flowers on this neat, compact 10-12", carefree perennial border or container. S-PSh/M PP14701
