This role is easily overlooked by people, but it cannot be ignored. If you observe its pictures, you will find that generally speaking, the whole plant is purple-red, and the leaves are glossy green and very shiny. Its leaf veins are yellow or red, and these colors match each other very well. It is suitable for potted planting and hanging pot cultivation, and of course it is also very suitable for planting in flower beds and flower paths.

What a beautiful scene that would be.
