Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This "Flame Violet" has a low growth habit and trailing stems, which make it perfect for hanging pots or light gardens. The green and silver-veined leaves contrast against brilliant red flowers, bringing a sense of festivity to the indoor environment. An older hybrid, it does well in low light areas, likes it warm and prefers some dryness between waterings. A great addition to any collection.
