10"H X 12" W Clump-forming perennial features a basal mound (typically to 12 inches tall) of maple or ivy-like, long-petioled leaves (3 to 5 inches wide) which are an attractive deep purple above and beet red beneath. Foliage color may fade to a bronze green in hot summers. Tiny, pinkish white, bell-shaped flowers in open, airy panicles are borne on slender, wiry, dark red stems extending well above the mound of leaves typically to a height of 15 to 24 inches in late spring to early summer.
