Large multi-colored leaves in bright, festive shades of green, yellow, orange, purple and red cover this plant. It is a tropical shrub treated as an annual in our zone and can also be adapted as a houseplant. It requires full sun in order to keep its bright coloration and well-drained soil is a must to keep its roots from rotting. It is a stunning addition to containers, especially in the summer and fall, and larger plants could be used as decorative elements in fall beds and borders until cold temperatures set in.
