Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A must-have for the late-season garden. These low-maintenance, brightly-colored bundles of fantastic foliage add whimsy & charm thru even the bleakest of Winters. Growing up to 1’ high & wide, this especially showy variety has wildly ruffled leaves & the hottest of hot-pink centers. Plant in late Summer or Fall, after your Summer annuals have finished & prepare yourself for a vibrant display lasting from Fall thru Spring! The perfect place-holder for next year’s annual garden. Performs wonderfully in a container or hanging basket. For those lucky enough to live in areas with mild Summers, it can brighten up your garden almost year ‘round. Plant in full sun for best color.
