A popular choice with abundant, large flowers. Blooms early and continuously. In warm regions, treat as a perennial, lifting and dividing in early spring. Where not hardy, treat as an annual for seasonal color. Well-suited for garden's edge, along walkways and in combination pots or window boxes. Prefers moist, well-drained soil.

Large, boldly patterned leaves highlight shaded areas with stunning color. Outstanding in containers or in the garden with impatiens, hostas and ferns. Can be grown indoors as a houseplant, in medium light and warm temperatures. Ideal for overwintering.

Nonstop flowers in beautiful hues are offset by handsome, glossy foliage. Popularly used for adding lively color to containers and annual plantings. Particularly lovely in mixed containers and hanging baskets. Provide shelter from wind.
