These have been introduced as annuals into the garden market recently in my zone 7b/8a. Before I had only known them as periennal houseplants. The plants and their leaves get quite large with the leaves having striking varigation. Flowers are non-descript and have little interest standing well above the leaves. These plants can get over 3 feet tall the second year.

I like this opinion

This is a really pretty plant also sold as an annual here in a colder zone. I gave mine away as my house is too cold for it in the winter. (We heat with wood) and it wasn't happy with me. But I am always happy to see it at my friend's house!
