The leaves of this plant are large, star-shaped, and range from deep olive green to purplish-bronze to brilliant deep purple. The undersides of the leaves are a metallic amethyst shade. During late spring to midsummer, panicles of bell-shaped, creamy-white, and small sized flowers will bloom on dark red slender stems rising above its foliage.
