  • Posted by SongofJoy (Clarksville, TN - Zone 6b) on Feb 9, 2012 7:05 AM concerning plant:
    'Solar Eclipse' is an extraordinary new introduction with dense, leafy, 10" mounds composed of broadly scalloped burgundy brown leaves that are rimmed with lime green. Puffy white flowers occur on 16" stalks in late spring. The colors are strong and striking. This easy to grow little jewel of a plant can take full shade to all but the hottest afternoon sun and average soil.

    Great container plant.
