Joseph's Coat

Colorful foliage in various patterns creates a striking contrast when combined with blooming plants. Lovely in bog gardens, at water's edge or in shallow water where it complements plants with bold foliage such as water lily, hosta or canna. Prefers moist soil, but is fairly adaptable.
