Rating for this plant:
Provides striking foliar color for containers or beds.

Depending on sun exposure the coloring may range from bronze to chocolate-y brown to plum-y burgundy with random splashes of magenta pink, and has a lustrous sheen.
The flowers are relatively inconsequential.

Treat as an annual outside of it's hardiness zone.
