'Miss Piggy' is a robust and charming perennial that brings early-season color and year-round interest to shaded gardens. In early spring, it produces clusters of bright pink, bell-shaped flowers that rise just above its dense foliage, offering a cheerful display when few other plants are in bloom. The plant's large, glossy, dark green leaves are evergreen, providing texture and color throughout the year. In cooler temperatures, the foliage often takes on attractive reddish-bronze hues, adding seasonal interest.
