One of the villosa hybrid French ôdessertsö whipped up by Thierry Delabroye. The foliage of æTiramisuÆ is chartreuse with tasty deep plum veining that sweetens to a honey-color when baked in summer heat, returning to plum as it cools in autumn. The compact and full habit makes this a bold groundcover and fine low-maintenance perennial, tolerating heat and humidity with ease when provided well-drained, average soil

A miraculous result of Thierry and Sandrine DelabroyeÆs breeding program in France, coleus-like stained glass foliage color is now available in hardy perennial form. Bold leaves emerge chartreuse and spotted with shades of red wine, gradually aging to a deep red except along the margins, which retain a contrasting greenish-gold tone. Pale flower spikes stand above the foliage in summer. Its villosa heritage is evident in its tolerance of summer heat and humidity. Provide average, well-drained soil conditions.
