If you want a vigorously creeping foamflower, this one is for you. But aside from its ability to creep over and around just about anything in good soil in the shade, this one has rich deep purple/black coloring that radiates out from the leaf centers. The 2-inch leaves are slightly puckered, bright green, and weakly evergreen. The dark vein coloring and the plant's vigor combine to create a very beautiful picture. Flowering is typical for foamflower - 9-inch spikes of puffy white flowers from mid to late spring. Let this one cascade over rocks or ramble in and out of other flowers. Cat# 1537
