notes
The fact that Pachyphragma macrophylllum is unusual is a surprise, as it is such a pleasing and hardy perennial. The scalloped, semi-evergreen foliage, which takes on a purple tint during the winter, grows in mounds, from which appear dazzling clusters of flowers in the spring. It is hardy, likes shade and will offer interest under deciduous shrubs such as roses.

- Pot size: approx. 2L
- Height and Spread: 10-50cm (4-20in) x 10-50cm (4-20in) after 2-5 years
