Botanic information
Leaf: The large mid green reniform leaves have a cordate base and are reddish on the underside with prominent reticulate vernation. The long reddish, erect petiole is pubescent and the leaf tends to fold upwards forming a shallow funnel-shape. 

Flower: The tiny tube-shaped flowers are arranged in a dense head surrounded by linear ray florets. The flower heads are in turn arranged in a terminal flat corymb that is held above the foliage on a reddish pubescent scape from midsummer to autumn.

Fruit: The small cypsela are viable but the plant is commonly reproduced vegetatively to maintain true to type.
