Josephs coat, copperleaf, calico plant, bloodleaf, joyweed and parrot leaf - all these common names in reference to the often brilliantly colored leaves which provide foliage contrast to gardens and container plantings. Best foliage colors are developed in full sun. May also be grown indoors as a houseplant as long as it is sited in a bright, sunny location and soils are kept moist. Grown exclusively for its colorful foliage - rich purple to burgundy leaves. Forms spreading foliage mounds to 12-30" tall.
