Nursery contributed plant descriptions

New leaves emerge burgundy red in spring maturing to green throughout the summer. Late summer typically brings another flush of new growth. This very nice foliage plant becomes flat-topped mound. Nice along paths and in the front of shrub beds. Rarely flowers, though the 2-toned foliage goes a long way to compensate for that and it lasts most of the year. Great foundation plant.
