Eli A. ★★★★★

I planted this in a large terracotta pot on my patio and the deep burgundy foliage adds such rich color. The arching pink tassels sway beautifully in the slightest breeze, making it a real showstopper. It's already doubled in size since I put it in the ground just a month ago.

Claire ★★★★★

The mushroom-pink tassels are so soft and airy, they sway beautifully in the slightest breeze. I planted mine in a large pot on the patio and the deep burgundy leaves create such a dramatic, rich backdrop. It's already become the focal point of my entire deck.

Avery ★★★★★

The arching pink tassels are so much more graceful in person, and the deep purple leaves really pop against my gray patio pot. I've had it for two weeks and it's already putting out new growth.
