Description

This spurium cultivar features scalloped leaves that are green for most of the spring and summer, turning rosy pink in autumn. Bright clusters of pale pink flowers set off vibrant foliage during the summer. Flowers attract butterflies, bees, and pollinators. As with all spuriums, foliage is dropped in late autumn with new rosettes set on each stem over winter. Rosettes tend to be a lighter red or dark pink and are plentiful compared with some other species. This plant can tolerate some shade, however flowering and leaf color will be affected. This cultivar is also useful for overhanging edges and walls. An excellent choice for pink tones in foliage and flowers.
