Plant in mass in a natural, woodland setting or spotted throughout mixed beds. Pair the glossy, dark purple foliage with yellow and gold foliage plants for contrast and color in those dark shaded areas of your garden. Outstanding at close range near outdoor living areas and in front entry foundation plantings. Create a dramatic effect by planting in beautiful lime green or cobalt blue glazed containers.
