Is this plant toxic to dogs?

In what kind of conditions were these planted? I have a full-full sun area but want to maximize the deep purple color - were these in any kind of shade?

Thanks,
Rachel

Yes, they seem to do well in semi shade. I never water them! The moisture available in its surroundings is enough. Moving it to semi-shade may help in deepening the colour.

I was told that this plant will bring good luck about money . Is this true?


Thank You
