Superb dark foliage variety, slightly darker in colour than 'Purple Emperor' with a strong mounding habit.
We have selected this form for its showy larger than usual flowers and longer stem, which suits cutting for floral arrangements. To get the best out of these, plenty of fertility and moisture, shade to part sun.
