This sensational architectural masterpiece introduces a moody, color-soaked intensity to the shade garden with its highly structured mounded form. A brilliant third-generation selection from hybridizer Bob Solberg's renowned 'Longiana' line, the wavy, gently cupped leaves emerge with a thick waxy frosting that radiates a gorgeous purple cast in spring. The incredible visual grace of this medium-sized variety is further elevated by royal purple petioles that provide a striking, highly colorful base for the deep, rich blue-green foliage. Combining exceptional durability with robust landscape posture, this frosty perennial stands out as a magnificent, high-performing structural highlight.

Incorporate this premium specimen into layered shade gardens, where it pairs flawlessly with delicate, shade-loving ferns, dense architectural sedges, or the colorful plumes of dramatic astilbes to build rich textural layers.

Info: Our plants are grown in 5.25 x 5.25 x 5.25 inch pots and develop large root systems. These are not a small liner but a plant you can put right into your garden. That means you will get a bigger plant right away compared to a starter plant. We guarantee you will get a true to type healthy plant that you will love for years. If you have any problems or questions we are happy to help. During early spring plants may still be breaking dormancy so they may appear smaller than they will be when they fully leaf out. In Fall or Winter the plants may be dormant which means the may be losing or have completely lost their leaves.

Shipping: We do not ship to Hawaii or Alaska due to cost and import restrictions. Plants will be removed from their pots and loose soil removed and the rootball placed in a bag. We are an inspected nursery from the VA Dept of AG
