Kevin,

I planted 3 of these plants in 2012 and two returned in 2013. (I did replace the one that didn't make it).

I was very pleased with their performance last year. They were very floriterous with the bloom color a deep magenta.

As well they continued to bloom well into the fall.

The variegated foliage was good further highlighting the color of the flower. There was some reversion on some branches but not excessive.

I saw no evidence of self-seeding.

I only hope that my 3 plants make it through this too trying winter.

Thank you for the update. Those really are nice looking plants. I love magenta flowers especially with variegated foliage like that.

"trying winter" is an understatement. The thought of it being even worse next week is really difficult for me to believe, but I guess it's going to happen. Thank goodness we have some snow cover this year - as if that's going to make a difference with this stupid cold.
