This is a lovely plant with beautiful leaf coloring of deep green above & burgundy below & the leaf texture adds to it's beauty, not to mention the pretty blooms.
CAUTION SHOULD BE EXERCISED WHEN DECIDING WHETHER TO PLANT THIS:
Once established it will put out numerous, fast growing underground suckers. They grow almost overnight & are difficult to dig up. They will travel long distances. I planted this once & ended up deeply regretting it. The suckers were showing up 30' away from the mother plant. They were also able to travel down 3' then horizontally 2 1/2 feet then up on the other side of a footer for a cinder block wall. I have seen them travel underneath sidewalks to pop up on the other side.
It is my opinion this plant should be considered invasive & avoided at all costs.
