This is a gorgeous hardy perennial foliage plant that produces clusters of bluey-pink flowers. It's grown mainly for its dramatic, large and variegated leaves - one of the best in my opinion. It contrasts well with dark green plants like Hakonechloa Macra in part shady moist sites.
After flowering you can cut it back and get a new flush of leaves.
It will tolerate sun and part shade and likes moist fertile soil - even very poorly drained soil.
You can divide the clump in spring.
