Description
Bronze-leaved varieties are more tolerant of full sun. Plants tolerate considerable shade, but are generally
less floriferous therein. Plants are best with consistent moisture throughout the growing season, but tolerate
periods of drought due to their thick and waxy leaves which help minimize water loss in hot weather. Space
plants well (8” for dwarfs and 12” for taller ones) to promote good air circulation and to reduce potential
fungal disease problems. Waxy dark green to bronze leaves and loose clusters (cymes) of single or double
flowers bloom in shades of white, pink or red plus bicolor versions thereof.
