Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A stunning miniature that jumps out to be recognized. Its colors are rich and deep with a black center suffused with an iridescent gray that's banded in a brilliant red and bordered with chocolate brown. A vigorous grower that stays under 8" in height. When we first saw this little beauty in a collection in south Florida, it instantly said, "Take me home!" We're glad we did.
