Contrast
(1968)
Contrast
A good reliable tri-coloured variety that naturally grows into a well shaped plant with small red flowers… the flowers may be small but it’s the foliage that is to be enjoyed so I’d be inclined to just remove them and enjoy the plant n a display pot (oh how cruel to pinch othe lovely flowers!).
