A nice plant for the shade garden. Foliage is an attractive blend of green with a pink fringe.

Blooms are sprays of star shaped flowers which resemble a bishop's hat (hence the common name). Flowers late spring in our garden.  Grows to 30 cm in height.

Quite a carefree plant, which survives well in dry shade, a difficult spot for most plants. Slowly spreads to form a nice patch, can act as a taller growing groundcover.

Hardy to zone 4.

Glen's rating:  7.
