Back with a vengeance: the versatile foliage plant, which eventually blooms with small blue flowers. This warm-colored plant also does very well as a houseplant. 'Wizard Scarlet' has deep red leaves with a yellow-green border. The plants have compact growth (hardly any pruning needed) and good shade tolerance.
A plant with an old "windowsill tradition". The nettle-like leaf comes in many shapes and color variations. Easy to sow, "a child could do it".
