Landscape Attributes:
Splash Select Pink Polka Dot Plant is an herbaceous evergreen annual bedding plant with a mounded
form. Its medium texture blends into the garden, but can always be balanced by a couple of finer or
coarser plants for an effective composition.
This is a relatively low maintenance annual bedding plant, and should not require much pruning, except
when necessary, such as to remove dieback. Deer don't particularly care for this plant and will usually
leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Splash Select Pink Polka Dot Plant is recommended for the following landscape applications;
- Mass Planting
- Border Edging
- General Garden Use
- Groundcover
- Container Planting
- Hanging Baskets
Plant Characteristics:
Splash Select Pink Polka Dot Plant will grow to be about 12 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 12
inches. Its foliage tends to remain dense right to the ground, not requiring facer plants in front. Although
it's not a true annual, this fast-growing plant can be expected to behave as an annual in our climate if left
outdoors over the winter, usually needing replacement the following year.
This annual bedding plant should only be grown in a shady location. It does best in average to evenly
moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly
tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This plant can be propagated by
cuttings.
This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America.
