I flower from early winter to mid spring with cream-coloured blooms that beautifully age to a greenish aubergine.
My blooms sit above rich deep green foliage. I am a long-lived evergreen perennial. I naturally have a rounded from and work well in shaded areas of the garden year-round. I also perform well with a sunny aspect.
I am a good choice for pots and general container planting to brighten up a shaded balcony or paved areas.
