- William S.VA, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars7/1/26Very striking leaves!
The leaves are very striking and stand out! So far no flowers but the foliage is pretty on it's own. I put them in all my beds as a trap crop. Fingers crossed they keep the bad bugs off my vegetable plants!
