Plant Description: Clump forming perennial with mid-green leaves. Purplish-pink flowers are double with shades of blue and resemble tiny roses. Attractive, finely cut leaves are deeply veined.

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.
