My wife discovered somebody nearby selling a few small rhizomes of this plant just a few months ago.
A few months after she buried them, slowly more and more of the gorgeous purple leaves came up. The leaves even go to sleep at night and fold down, it’s adorable.
Soon, the flowers followed, the whole plant was covered in flowers recently and they still keep coming. Even the flowers go to sleep, just the most cute and beautiful plant ever, it brings us a lot of joy. :)
Thank you! Definitely! There’s so many little creatures in the small area we left unmowed. Some really cute bumblebees. Funnily enough our dog stays our if there which is good for not disturbing the wildlife.
I would love to be able to have a bigger space to create something substantial. But I guess every little bit helps.👍
