Comments:
Has rosettes of burgundy leaves that turn deep purple in summer and then red fall. Lilac-blue flowers produced in warm days of spring and summer attract bees and butteflies. Tolerates light shade, but grows best in full sun. May be used as a groundcover, particularly in poor soils. If the birds don't eat the seed, it will reseed itself.
