| Description | Add year-round, eye-catching contrast, with dramatic black foliage topped by small cone-like flowers surrounded by a ray of showy, deep-red bracts in winter. An easy-care and waterwise option. Loves hot sun and lean, well-drained soils, but is less demanding than most of its relatives, even tolerating some clay. Evergreen. |
