An easy-to-grow native plant adaptable to a wide range of conditions.  Flowers have a pleasing scent of strawberries to bananas to pineapples and should be planted close to a walk or seating area where the scent can be enjoyed. The 2" flowers are dark reddish brown, maroon, or reddish. Flowers form on both old growth and new growth with sporadic flowering in May which continues into June and July. The dark green foliage turns yellow in fall and persists for many weeks.
