Care
Water regularly. Best orange color is achieved in full sun and cool temperatures.
Maintenance
Gently comb out dead leaves in spring. Divide every 3-4 years to rejuvenate.
Cleanup
Cut back to a few inches in early spring to remove winter-damaged foliage.
Notes
Warm orange-bronze foliage adds year-round color. Especially attractive in autumn and winter. Excellent container plant.
