Description

‘Sun King’ has the bold texture and vibrant color of a tropical, but is hardy to -40F. It’s equally great in containers and in the ground, but requires several seasons in the ground to reach its full 6’ tall potential. ‘Sun King’ prefers consistently moist soil and will flag during dry spells. For best color, this foliage powerhouse needs some sun. In northern climates, it can be grown beautifully in full sun, but in the mid Atlantic and gardens south, requires some afternoon shade.
