"The foliage is nice. Dark and full. Flowers are more red to orange, not the deep red expected. Flowering is also a bit sparse."
"Absolute front of border, in full sun."
"Beautiful black foliage that stayed beautiful and healthy all season long. Flowers were pretty but not prolific. The photo on the website showed a red flower but mine were more of a purple. Short plant, 12"" or so, best as edger or front of border or in a pot raised up so it can be admired close up."
"Need to lift for winter so I planted them in containers to make it easier. Even before the pretty flowers came I enjoyed the dramatic foliage color."
"Very pretty"
