| Whether you use this splendid tropical plant indoors, in containers, or in the warm shady garden, Brazilian Fireworks 'Maracas' is a year-round delight. With its long, angular leaves of deep green scored with silver and its central bloom cluster of vivid pink and purple, it distinguishes itself beautifully as an oasis of rich color and fascinating foliage. Outdoors, Brazilian Fireworks blooms all summer, and offers the best foliage variegation in deep shade. What a nice change of pace for the shady border -- large-leafed, lush tropical beauty! In containers and indoors, it remains neat and symmetrical, making a charming poolside addition. Just 8 to 10 inches high and a bit less wide, it fits neatly into standard 6-inch pots. This plant grows readily from seed, blooming the first year. Showy enough to give as gifts even to non-gardening friends (it's an easy houseplant!), it makes a statement in any setting. Give it a try this season! Pkt is 10 seeds. |
