Plants form a spreading shiny carpet of deep green, leathery leaves, which turn bronzy-red in the fall. Wine-red stems pick up the accents in the white and crimson flowers which are arranged, lavenderlike, along dense 2 to 3 in. terminal spikes held over a foot above the foliage.
As the blooms mature, they darken to a crimson-rose shade, and finally end their days colored a rich rusty brown.
