Description:
One of the most extraordinary shade plants. It blooms generously all year around, presenting large and glorious fluffy violet-blue flower heads and the flowers open from velvety violet bud clusters that are so pretty! Most excellent are its exotic velvety leaves which start out greenish but quickly turn a lush dark purple. Evergreen foliage is held on branching stems creating a well-mannered form. Attracts butterflies, too!

Sowing instructions: Sow Mar-Apr on the surface of any moist seed compost. Do not cover the seed. Place in a propagator or warm place, and keep at a constant temperature of between 20-25 Celsius. After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination will usually take 21 days.

Planting instructions: light, well drained soil in full sun
