Hemigraphis 'Exotica'

Overview

Hemigraphis 'Exotica' is an exotic plant species with purple and green variegated foliage. The leaves are thin and pointed, and are held in opposite pairs along the fragile stems. These soft stems can trail or climb, and become covered in tiny, star-like pale pink flowers that produce a pleasant fragrance. This evergreen perennial is hardy and thrives in moist, well-drained soil, tolerating some dry periods. In full sun, the foliage becomes a darker, deep purple, making 'Exotica' ideal for hanging baskets, window boxes or as a houseplant. Its vibrant foliage creates a striking contrast in gardens, and it's easy to care for and maintain.
