This is easily one of my favorite container plants. It has such a pretty color. Paired it with Artemisia, Midnight Rose Coral Bells, Blue Delphinium, Dusty Miller and Diamond Frost Euphorbia in a concrete urn. This is easily my favorite color and texture combo. i plan to purchase it year after year. Zone 7b, in full sun.

This is the "eye catcher" in all of my pool deck planters. Everybody loves it's elegant look.

I love this plant. It's in a container that hangs above my head. It spills over so much that it reaches the ground. Quite a conversation item. It sways in the wind and is beautiful. It feels soft and cool.

I have it in a container with Lambs ears, and it created (in no time) a very dramatic centerpiece for the garden. Gorgeous foliage spilling to the ground.

I love this plant. I use it in widow box along with geraniums, they make a beautiful display. No fuss with these at all, and they grow all summer long. The best for a overflowing accent plant. Just love it, cant say it enough!!!!!
