Wow is that red! I'm not normally a 'red' kind of person but that is going to have to go on my list for backyard garden plants!! Thanks for posting it!

I also will get some for next year. Evidently it is a sturdy plant and works well where coleus is, though this one was in full sun. The color was truly amazing!

Very nearly like that. Smae rich vibrant red, however, the lower foliage appears near black in that photo, mine was green. Mine only got to 2 1/2 feet. I kept mine in a small pot for way too long, stunted it I'm afraid. Best to sow directly or transplant when young.

I definitely want to plant some next year. And yes the lower growth was black and the bottom growth was green I believe. Let me see if I have another picture of it to post.
