Britt-Marie Crawford Leopard Plant

Britt-Marie Crawford Leopard Plant is a shade loving herbaceous perennial that forms a basal mound of huge dark leathery heart-shaped leathery foliage on long stocks.  New foliage emerges chocolate burgundy with raspberry undersides that shifts to bronze green it matures.  Orange-yellow daisy like flowers bloom from mid to late summer.  Best color in part sun and rich moist well-drained soil. 

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low Maintenance.  Do not let soils dry out.  Even with adequate moisture, foliage may wilt in hot summers (but will recover at night), especially if in too much sun.  Watch for slugs and snails.

LANDSCAPE USES: Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Woodland Gardens, Groundcover, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS:  Japanese Forest Grass, Wild Bergamont, Catmint
