Tiny cherry-red flowers dot the delicate foliage in mid-to-late spring. Heart-shaped leaves emerge with a red flush and mature to a shiny green, then turn red and bronze in the fall. This variety can be used as a groundcover for moist, shady areas. It is long-lived and, once established, plants can tolerate dry shade under trees.
