Leaves are heart-shaped to kidney-shaped, dark green, 2"-4" wide, with crinkled margins, and unequal sharp teeth. Large, showy flowers in clusters of white and many shades of pink, red, lavender, and purple with brilliant blotches and markings of darker colors are seen intermittently throughout the year.
