Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A newly introduced species with very attractive, smooth and glossy, olive-green foliage and stunning rose-purple flowers in mid-spring. Each flower is highlighted by a large starry reddish-purple calyx. Very striking and quite distinct. Easy in light shade and seems to be quite hardy. I find the new growth of this species to be particularly attractive. One of my new favorite species.
