this plant grows will here and stays green all year. I geathered the seeds as the flower dried and planted them a month or so later. Every seed sprouted. The plant gets no sun and does very well in our acid soil.

The earliest of our 12 Toads to bloom, also one of our most vigorous.

The foliage alone is worth the grow.
It has a chartreuse or lime edging that ages to gold by Fall.

The flower's are just the icing on the cake.

Introduced by Dan Heims of Terra Nova Nursery.
Another winner for them.

Put this one near the border, if possible, so views of the plant are not lost in the shuffle.
