Imagine a small, gently wind-ruffled field of this cute, crinkled plant, and you can start to see why it was given the name 'Bronze Wave.' A stunner in any season due to its metallic brown and purple foliage and its stalks of creamy white flowers in the summer, this shimmery selection shows off best when planted in masses. Peek on the underside of the leaves for an even more colorful maroon hue. The dainty sprigs of flowers rise up from the clumps of leaves like wispy guardians and create a lovely layered effect.
