The plant produces red stems with beautiful purple leaves with visible veins , cordate or oblong depending on the variety. Many cultivars have appeared on the market, with a more spread out, more creeping habit or with variegated foliage of pink, green, yellow or white . The stems of small, very light creamy white flowers that appear towards the end of summer are of no great interest.
