About this plant
This herbaceous perennial features a mounding habit with large, heart-shaped foliage that is deep green with striking golden-yellow margins, offering a vibrant two-tone effect in shade gardens. Hardy in Zones 3-8, it thrives in cool to moderate temperatures and performs best in partial to full shade. It prefers moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter for optimal growth. During the summer, it produces lavender to pale purple bell-shaped flowers on tall scapes, adding subtle charm. While it doesn’t provide notable fall color, its foliage remains a standout through the growing season. Mature clumps grow to about 20 inches tall with a spread of up to 36 inches, making it a lovely filler plant. Deer resistance is moderate, although additional protection may be necessary in areas with high deer pressure. Ideal for borders, woodland gardens, and shaded areas, this plant combines beauty with versatility.
