Its bright-colored crimson and scarlet shaded foliage renders it very useful for the window garden, planted as a centre-piece in a Rustic stand, Jardinier, or Window-box, or for summer decoration in vases, ornamental beds, etc. It thrives best in a light rich soil, composed of leaf-mould, sand, loam, and thoroughly decomposed manure. The color of the foliage is improved by mixing small bits of char- coal with the soil, and using the same also for drainage.
