Maple-shaped leaves, bronzy green to rich purple. Spikes of creamy flowers. |
This gorgeous plant is, indeed, worthy of a royal garden. Its tiny creamy white bell-shaped flowers float over foliage that can be bronze to purple to dark green (depending on sun exposure) with a surprising and stunning dark purple-red underside. A bit of a breeze makes the blooms dance and exposes flashes of contrasting leaves, making this beauty a dynamic and fun addition to the garden.
