Appearance
The dark green, velvety, four to six-inch-long leaves have several prominent longitudinal veins instead of the usual one, and are often edged in red. Large, royal purple blossoms, flaring open to five inches, are held on terminal panicles above the foliage, creating a spectacular sight when in full bloom. Some flowers are open throughout the year but they are especially plentiful from May to January.
Uses
Princess flower is ideal for the mixed shrubbery border or used in small groupings to compound the impact of bloom-time.References:
