“Dark Secret” is an herbaceous perennial grown for its gorgeous foliage. It features lush, dark purple foliage with dark green undertones. Flower spikes rise above the foliage in summer and may reach 60 cm tall bearing small, pink flowers. It typically grows to 40 cm tall and 50 cm wide, performing best when planted on a well-drained, sheltered site in full sun or partial shade. It is tolerant of short periods of dry and in cold climates may die back during winter to regenerate in spring. “Dark Secret” is commonly planted to add colour in a border or mixed planting, used to contrast with other plant colours, grown in a container, included in cottage gardens, or planted around outdoor living areas.
