Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Primulaceae
Plant Description: Fall-blooming perennial with large, mottled, ivy-like leaves that emerge after the flowers bloom and last throughout the winter. Pink flowers with red eyes and reflexed petals are borne one per stalk and bloom in late-summer to fall. Does not require a lot of water to thrive. Prefers partial shade.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
