A dramatic shrubby perennial with huge, deeply veined, dark green leaves and new growth and stems covered in a fine red velvet. Large corymbs of lilac, Ageratum like flowers are abundantly produced in spring.
Eminently desirable and hailing from moist cloud forests in Mexico, so flagging in the heat and low humidity of West Australian summers but so spectacular as to be still worth growing if ample moisture and protection from wind can be provided.
Cut back hard after flowering once new growth is seen.
