- I am the perfect hardy groundcover for rockeries and hard to plant areas such as under trees and heavy shade
- I grow well in pots and other containers, a great way to create contrast on patios and paved areas
- My striking deep purple, almost black, foliage provides stunning contrast to my red flowers during summer
- I thrive in part shade but also perform well in full sun given adequate moisture
- I am happy in most soils but prefer soils that are well drained
My deep purple, almost black, foliage is a standout for creating stunning contrast in the garden.
From late spring my sprays of cherry red flowers stand tall above my foliage making me a great feature.
Thriving in shady areas I am a great choice for where light is limited.
While I am a good choice for shady locations I will cope with full sun if my roots are kept moist.
Adaptable I work well in pots and other containers while being completely at home garden planted.
