Tips from Fran
Pratia angulata is one of the fastest growing plants we have! I really like the seed pods that come after the flower. They are bright red and the birds just go crazy over them!!
~This is in our exception category for Under Trees and Shrubs as it will be very happy under a tree if is allowed to get ample sunlight. In deep shade this plant will not work, but many trees/shrubs do give enough filtered light to make it work.
