Product information
A spectacular summer-flowering plant primarily grown for its dramatic foliage and superb form, the large oval-shaped leaves are deep-green above and bronze underneath with a fine covering of tiny hairs which can inflict a mild sting. An outstanding addition to the rear of your garden, the bold foliage from 2-3.5m is topped with clusters of mauve flowers throughout summer. Originally from Central and South America, its tropical-look belies its hardiness, tolerating both extended periods of dry and frost once established. Suitable for coastal locations.
