Jane blooms a bit later that many other varieties making it a perfect choice where a late frost is common. The flowers have 7 to 9 petals that are light pinkish-purple on the inside and resemble tulips perched on the ends of every branch. Flowers begin to appear in March with sporadic rebloom into summer. The large, elongated leaves are dark green with a somewhat leathery appearance which contrasts nicely with other landscape plants that have finer foliage.
