Brightly-hued ornamental foliage is durable and perfect for season-long color and texture. Loves summer heat. The lush leaves on the versatile semi-trailing habit cascade beautifully from baskets and containers from spring to first frost. Plant with contrasting colors for a great show. An herbaceous perennial in tropical climates, treat as an annual elsewhere.
