Comments:
Compact plant with outstanding foliage and reasonably showy flowers. Aphids sometime a problem. Root rot can be a problem if soils stay too wet. Keep soil moderately dry to slightly moist and try to locate plants in a place that receives morning sunlight but protected from the hot noonday sunlight.
