A Brazillian native, Iresine is a popular choice for its stunning foliage, adding colour to garden beds, especially in shady areas. Iresine is sensitive to frost and wind so needs a protected area. It provides colourful foliage all year round and can be used as an informal border or feature in tropical shade gardens, as a potted feature, or understory plant. Prune regularly to keep it compact and bushy.
