Wine-dark, purple leaves with a wavy edge intensify to nearly black, offsetting a wealth of hot pink flowers on this handsome low growing shrub. Hummingbirds and butterflies love the tubular flowers that bloom in late spring, and repeat throughout the summer months. Deer resistant plants make fine specimens, bring color and texture to the shrub border, and are effective spilling out of large containers. Prune if desired after first flush of blooms. PPAF.
