A modern tropical marvel for the Willis and Houston metro area, 'Redemption' features corrugated, jet-black leaves accented by a vibrant neon-pink "star" in the center. As the leaf matures, the pink veins spread beautifully. It thrives in our Texas humidity and makes a world-class focal point. In Southeast Texas, it is root-hardy; ensure it is planted in rich, moist soil and provide plenty of water during our intense summer dry spells.
Exposure
Full sun to partial shade (Color is most intense with significant sun)
Height x Width
3-4 ft. Tall x 3-4 ft. Wide
Water
High; prefers consistently moist to boggy soil. Excellent for pond edges or heavily watered containers in Houston.
Zones
7 - 11
Fertilization
Heavy feeder. Apply a balanced, water-soluble or slow-release fertilizer every 3-4 weeks during the growing season.
Pruning
Remove older, fading leaves at the base to encourage new, colorful growth. Cut back to the ground after the first freeze.
