Typically grown as a foliage plant. Occasional blooms, which resemble their near cousin, the morning glory, are pale pink with a violet-purple center, and provide a strong contrast to the almost black foliage. The foliage is dark and heavily lobed, and brilliant purple on the underside. Wonderful cascading out of a container or hanging basket, and provides great contrast and impact when planted in swathes in the landscape. Works well with brightly colored celosia, or lime-green heucheras.
