I love these beautiful plants. They start blooming early (mid-late March) to let you know spring has arrived. After the flowers are gone, their foliage adds character to a planting area.. I planted a small patch 2 years ago.. Those spread nicely and loved them so much that I wanted them in more areas; so I transplaned some last year and again just a few days ago.. (They looked a little droopy so I put some small rocks around them so they were more upright - that was the trick! They are happy in their new homes!

A definite winner. I planted it last fall pairing it with Georgia Peach Huechera around my dark lace elderberry. I could not be happier. It’s first blooms started April 1st here in northern MI. It is still blooming and putting on much growth on Memorial Day weekend. What a happy spring plant to enjoy.

The flowers start out pink and then turn purple so it looks really pretty with different color flowers blooming at the same time.
