rated edges, a rosette of small leaves encircle 
them where they join the stem; leaves and stems 
are hairy; small fragrant white flowers in 
clusters.

leaves shaped somewhat like a maple with a 
bronze cast, deeply serrate, upper surface covered

creamy white flowers on such short stems that 
they are hidden by the foliage—which is the chief 
attraction.
