(5-7 full shade)   90x75cm

A superb foliage plant with very large leaves heavily splotched with chocolate brown. A typical red-brown phaeum flower. This plant originated in Croatia and was introduced by Elizabeth Strangman, at Washfield Nursery. The phaeum family is valuable for its ability to grow in deep and dry shade for a long period, having evergreen leaves as a bonus. Native to southern and central Europe, they are excellent for woodland ground cover or the spring garden. If cut back they will flower again in September.
