sharp-lobed liverleaf

H. acutiloba is a low, clump-forming, semi-evergreen perennial to 15cm tall. The rounded or kidney-shaped, occasionally marbled leaves up to 8cm long have deeply-cut, sharply pointed lobes and turn shades of russet red and deep purple in autumn. Bowl-shaped flowers are held erect on hairy stems and appear before or during the emergence of new foliage in the spring. Each flower is up to 2.5cm across and usually white but may be shaded pale pink or pale lavender-purple
