This delicate, oval leaved plant sports a deep red colour which contrasts well with lighter green plants. The plant is best placed in groups, in front of taller plants. the stunning leaf colour is dependant on strong lighting and a good iron-rich fertiliser. Planting and transporting should be done with care as the stems are sensitive and easily damaged. Planting stems of various heights, with taller plants towards the back will create a more pleasing group.
