    A Hans Hansen bred Plant Delights introduction, this evergreen perennial bursts into spring with purple blotched new growth; elongated, finely-toothed foliage forms tight clumps 16” high and eventually 30” wide. Flowering stems in March>April above the foliage sparkle with large, spidery, salmon fairy flowers. AM sun, light shade, moist organic soil. YUM!
