Description
This perennial has variably-shaped, but basically, angular, and often sharply polygonal, leaves. These are green with a central whitish spot and often they have red or purple zoning at the edges. They are held on a bristly peduncle atop a stem 10-20 cm tall.
The rounded flowers, up to five per leaf, are held stiffly pendant below the leaves and are 1-2 cm long and of deep russet, although “salmon” is also recorded in the wild.
Full or half shade in a moist, but well-drained, leaf-soil.
