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. :)
It’s gorgeous! A friend of mine has one of these in their garden. I didn’t know you could propegate them. I will definitely ask her for a rhizome cutting.
