Leaves are glossy, dark green on top and maroon below, and toothed at the margins. Flowers are cream-coloured to light yellow with tiny maroon spots and purple hairs. This species is grown mainly for its attractive, glossy leaves. It is ideal for interior decoration, container planting and mass planting. Easy to propagate by stem and leaf cuttings."
