Comments:
The large, arching, lobed, silvery glaucous-green leaves on relatively large plants make a bold statement in the landscape, They also have a large purple flower that some think is attractive. In addition, they can produce edible fruit. Grows into a very large specimen in a single season. The bold, coarse textured foliage is particularly striking.
