SKU
2012
Gorgeous silvery foliage with high contrasting burgundy to dark purple veins create a bold graphic look. Small, pink-tinged white flowers on long stems rise in spring, but foliage is its main feature. Best leaf color when grown in light shade with evenly moist soils. Outstanding in woodlands, shaded borders and particularly exciting in containers. Metallic sheen is well suited to modern compositions. Herbaceous perennial. Partial sun. Fast growing clumps 8 to 12 inches tall and wide, 2 feet in bloom.
