roots easily--just stick a cutting in soil and keep it watered. it is perennial here, yes.

This plant is so easy to root you should be able to find some growing somewhere nearby and ask whoever is in charge for a small snip of it. There's no big secret to it -root it in water or in damp soil. Keep in the shade til new leaves form. They don't always come back each spring. Sometimes the winter is too wet and too cold.

I have some Purple heart (common name) that I would be happy to give, E mail me and we'll see about getting together

I have a plant also that I just got a few weeks ago at the triad farmers market. Email me if you would like a cutting.

Thanks for the cutting Cindy. I am rooting it as we speak. Check out this photo I took of this large bed full of it just the other day. I didnt hesitate to write them a "dear gardener letter" and they called me to invite me to come and take all I want. Thrilled!
