Non-Stop Color for Shady Areas

RAINBOW PLANTS Each set of four bulbs produces beautiful heart-shaped leaves in a kaleidoscope of brilliant colors. Often three separate colors are displayed in a single leaf – such as white, scarlet and green, or pink, cream and chartreuse. Many of them are also exotically freckled or veined. The plants thrive in shady locations, maintain their color until fall frosts when the bulbs can be dug and stored indoors over winter to produce a repeat performance the following season. Grow them massed under trees, as an edging to paths, and in containers to decorate a deck or patio.
