This species, though found in a small area, has a lot of variation. Lotte Hromadnik had as many as 5 different forms of gerdae, though not all are described. This form I have has dark gray leaves, red bracts, and purple scented flowers. Stays relatively small, blooming at less than 6" tall. Produces pups outside of it's bloom period, forming small dense clumps over time
