The exquisite deep burgandy to purple almost black color and markings on these unique blooms are unmatched by any other flowers in our gardens. You must see them in person to believe it! The blooms almost shimmer with a metallic look in addition to their veining intricacies. Definitely show stoppers!! Excellent for container planting. Blooms beckon the butterflies for a visit.
