What people are saying ...
As soon as I saw this plant I knew I would have to have it. Even
though the one I have it quite small I have put it in a container and
it's already showing promise of stealing the show on our patio. I was a
little confused though as the plants description mentioned that it could
take full sun or shade and then also stated that the plant 'performs
best' in filtered or partial shade. Which condition provides the most
vivid colour? Which ever it is, I love it already!
