Volunteers helped sell a new U of SK coleus variety (Audrey III) at Persephone Theatre from mid April 18th to May 3rd. Persephone Theatre performed the play “Little Shop of Horrors” which is about a man eating plant named ‘Audrey II’. The University of Saskatchewan's ‘Audrey III’ coleus looks like it has teeth dipped in blood with blood-coloured veins.

Proceeds of the plant sales are going to fund school trips to Persephone and for Student Horticulture projects at the U of Saskatchewan.
