A clumping perennial with heart shaped purple leaves which form a striking dense mound near ground level.
Loose upright panicles of greeny-cream flowers with red stamens are borne in summer and are projected above the mound of foliage.
This is a striking perennial valued for its textured, colourful foliage and dense mounding habit.
Use it to create texture and colour contrast in the garden.
Frost Hardy.
