Hello, A lovely variety of this rare autumn flowering perennial. The young plant arrived in late April and is growing well. However, the price of £12.90 per unit seems quite high for a bucket of 8/9cm (3/4in). Perhaps there was a mistake during the creation of the page?

Description

The foliage of this recent variety is a dark greenish-purple when it first appears, but not as dark as that of 'Brunette', and remains dark until autumn. The flower buds initially open a fairly deep pink, but quickly fade to become a pale pinkish-white.
