Positive primrosepath On Mar 3, 2003, primrosepath wrote:

'Frosted Violet' has foliage to about 12" and flowers to about 30". The new leaves are an unusual and beautiful violet-pink color, fading to bronze-green in summer. In winter the foliage turns dark bluish-violet. The flowers are like pink seed pearls; plants bloom late spring to late summer.
