Love the color of this Hypoestes nice red color that doesn't fade out. Only problem I have growing it outside in the dirt is that the deer 'LOVE' this little guy and will eat it right down to the ground. So I potted it up to grow where the deer couldn't find it to munch on. Doesn't seem to mind being in a pot.
