Stunning dark purple
leaves with central regions that are lighter violet color.
One of the nicest plants for patio potting that you can
find. Does best in broken shade or with early morning full
sun. Tiny bulbs erupt in spring with three leaf clovers and
attractive pink blooms. At night the leaves fold down into
little pyramids. Looks great planted in cobalt blue
planters. Likes evenly moist organic soil and routine
fertilization. Probably winter hardy Zone 7b. For those
(like me) in colder climates just bring it indoors in the
fall, stop watering it to let it go dormant and store until
spring in a cool basement. UPDATE: Scroll down to see the
new cultivar called 'Mijke' !! Wonderful color - solid
bright purple red.
