Simply Stunning...

This plant has become one of my favorites. What a lovely rosy red the long lasting blooms are? I love that the variegated leaves maintain a symmetrical growth pattern and are well behaved. If you love variegated plants that reward you with profuse blooming add this one to your collection.

Somebody really got it right when they named this plant! The color combination of the flowers above the yellow/white/and dark green foliage truly gives you the look of a watermelon. Although it is listed as coral red, mine blooms a rosey red...to me being even more like the inside color of a watermelon. This plant always brings smiles to my visitors faces when I tell them the name. Everyone gets the connection! This is a lovely plant that's easy to grow. I have noticed that mine tended to get bigger flowers as the plants matured. I really enjoy having this variety in my collection.

This is one of my favorites! However, I don't see why it's called a coral red as that means there is an 'orange' tint. Mine is more of a rosy red just like the inside of a ripe watermelon. The foliage holds it's varigation very nicely showing a lot of the white on the edges. To me it's perfectly named! Every time I look at it in bloom....I say, "Yep....it looks like a watermelon!"
