A nice colour form that will do a similar job to a dark heuchera. hopefully with fewer problems.

These plants are very hit and miss, they seem to take ages to get going, and when they do they take ages to get any larger, which is such a pity,because I really do like them....

oh well I will have to give it a go. See these plant fairs should be banned temptation in the way all the time.

Didn't recouperate, went to the garden in the sky.

I must go and see if it is still surviving, its in a side border that I haven't been down for a little while. I 'll let you know.

I did get flowers on it once, then overwinter the purple leaves looked slimy. Rain and frost damage?

I bought this plant about 3 years ago, have found it quite tricky, it did well the first year, but has got smaller and smaller, so Autumn 2015 I dug it out of the garden and potted it up to recouperate. Doing really slowly.
