A desirable form with strong purple flushed new growth which fades towards green by the time the clean green and white flowers appear. A good grower for good soil in shade. 60cm.

Many photos on the internet only show this selection with it's best purple new growth but it is worth remembering that it does fade towards green! That said, it is still a very nice plant if a little slower than the normal green form.
