Heloniopsis Orientalis

This rare and gorgeous, showy, Japanese evergreen perennial, grows its congested rosettes of pale green lance-shaped foliage, which turns purple in winter, along rocky streams. The strong lavender-pink, star shaped flowers, all with narrow petals are held in clusters well above the foliage. It excels in moist, well-drained soil in shade where it will very slowly divide up over the years.
