    • I planted it fairly recently. It is in a container on my deck with lemon coral sedum and supertunia vista bubblegum. They look amazing together. The pink and green of the foliage is perfect with the other plants. I am mildly worried that the supertunias might take over but so far that has not happened. I watch Laura on Garden Answer and originally had gone to the nursery looking for a different plant she had used. I’m glad it was unavailable and I found this one instead.
