I see a lot of these are used in 'tropical style' gardens in the UK.

Very nice. Looks like a Coleus, but I realise that it isn’t.

It looks great! I literally have hundreds of these plants around my house. They typically live around 8 year before I replace them. It grows extremely fast to 5 ft or taller.

When the sun shines on them they almost look iridescent.
