A multicoloured plant named for a vibrant city, 'Rio' has new leaves that open peach-amber, change to amber, then to tan, and finally to yellow amber. Lovely at every season. Beautiful, short maroon flower spikes with white flowers. A large and vigorous plant that is a great garden performer and a container star.
