Native to Southeast Asia, Zones 10a to 11b, the frost intolerant annual makes or breaks your part to full shade garden.

In the deep South it can grow up to three feet in a week, with a more compact, restrained growth in cooler climates.

Average pH levels of 6 to 6.5 are easy to achieve with compost or leaf mulch and help to maintain even soil moisture, otherwise this foliage plant requires little more than your appreciation to give you season long viewing pleasure and make your neighbors “Green With Envy”.
