Stromanthe sanguinea tricolour 

This Brazilian beauty is a real drama queen from the rainforest, flaunting its fashionable foliage with dark green tops splashed with white, while hiding sassy pink-maroon undersides. It's the perfect diva for those shady corners that need some pizzazz! It is a clumping perennial, meaning it grows in a cluster of stems, making it a good choice for filling space in garden beds. Whether it's jazzing up your tropical garden or strutting its stuff indoors in a fancy pot, this humidity-loving showstopper will have all your other plants green with envy.
