  • Description

  • Notes

Variegated foliage in vivid colors of yellow, green, red, rose, pink and copper highlight these plant, and can be used to brighten up a shady spot. They can be used as free-branching plants to 15", and are good in tubs, hanging baskets and mass planting.
Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball at ground level. 3. Prepare soil mix of equal parts soil and soil amendment. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build Basin and water.
