Description
Polka Dot Plant Splash Select Rose (Hypoestes phyllostachya) is grown purely for its foliage – deep green leaves splashed and freckled with hot rose-pink, in a stable strain with far more colour than ordinary seed types. Compact and bushy, it lights up a shady border outdoors in summer and makes an easy, colourful houseplant the rest of the year.
