Description

This perennial will grow to about 3' tall and 2' wide. It has dark, chocolate-colored, rounded, deeply cut leaves that change to purple with age. Is evergreen in warm winter climates. Tiny, white flowers appear on thin wiry stalks above the foliage in late spring and early summer. This clumping plant tolerates full sun in coastal areas but will appreciate afternoon shade in warm, inland areas. It does best in well draining, fertile, moist soil. Mulch plant well in cold winter areas. Looks great in woodland gardens, in mass, and in borders. Established plants tolerate heat, humidity and drought.

Fix leaking sprinklers, valves, and pipes.
