Rhoeo spathacea is a hardy, low-growing plant with sword-shaped leaves that are deep green on top and rich purple underneath. Valued for its bold colour and ease of care, it forms dense clumps and works well as groundcover, edging, or in pots. Best suited to outdoor spaces in full sun to part shade, or indoors in bright light, it thrives in well-draining soil and brings year-round colour to your garden.
