What do you think about this Proven Winner cutie ?

 Well my thoughts are we have a standoutish plant before our eyes. I love foliage color. The blooms as you can see are yellow amongst that foliage  may get lost , but I still am loving it.

Check this out! Low light conditions  the foliage is chartreuse in color ,  how does that happen? usually sunny conditions makes for bright colors I am loving this already.  So when left  in sunny areas it turns a rich orange color.  I am impressed !

Sterile  and appears to be noninvasive. Requires little maintenance care and get this no deadheading as it is self cleaning.

Grows 6-10 inches tall, has a mounded habit, and is classified as a filler plant in containers, meaning this plant  intermingles well with other plants to fill in the middle ground of a combination.

Bloom time is spring and summer months, Hardy to 28 degrees , and is Hardy in zones 9-11. Grows well in sun to part sun and is pretty easy to care for.

Sounds like it will do well anywhere you plant, landscapes, containers, baskets,  you name it.

I will be growing this for the Spring 2011 season , I look forward as I am always looking for foliage color.

Happy Gardening
