Wow, this is a gorgeous polka-dot! I didn't know they came in such vivid red colors. Thanks for posting this picture!

Your welcome. When I saw this plant I just had to have it for the color. As long as it is outside it is nice bright red but, since I brought it in for the winter it has lost some of the color due to low light conditions.

Beautiful plant! Does it do OK in 2/3 sun, or should it be in light shade? Where should it be planted to keep its color the best?

TIA,

I had mine in dappled shade, with bright afternoon light, out of the direct heat of the day.

Hope this helps
