A hardy, evergreen shrub with dark green foliage and producing superb violet flowers with burgundy-black blotches in mid-Spring. Best suited to dappled light where soils are suitably moist, rich in humus, acidic and free-draining. Deadhead and give plant a light trim to help maintain shape and to encourage new growth. Apply mulch once a year to help retain moisture and to keep root system cool.
May grow to 2m both in height and width.
