| Comments: Jewels of Opar - Talinum paniculatum `variegata' is a bright addition to the shade garden. It tolerates full sun as well. Delicate, pink flowers are produced almost year-round. It is sterile unlike the green and chartreuse types that drop seed everywhere and become a nuisance in the garden. Good drainage is essential for this compact grower. It combines well and behaves as a 'THRILLER' in a container garden for shady locations. Try mixing it with Persian Shield and Plectranthus Mona Lavender for a lasting combination. | |||
