Completely back from the past: the versatile foliage plant, which eventually blooms with small blue flowers. As a houseplant, this warm-colored plant is also highly regarded. 'Wizard Velvet Red' has dark, velvety red leaves with a subtle, yellowish-green edge. The plants have a compact growth (hardly any pruning needed) and good shade tolerance.
A plant with an old "windowsill tradition." The nettle-like leaf comes in many variations of shape and color. Easy to sow, "a child could do it."
