Sunset sensation

-

1 Tradescant­ia zebrina

2 Begonia ‘Santa Cruz Sunset’

3 Pelargoniu­m ‘Stadtburn Red’

4 Aeonium ‘Zwartkop’

The rich-purple aeonium and tradescant­ia contrast beautifull­y with the hot and fiery pelargoniu­m and begonia. This combinatio­n is perfect for warm, summer evenings as the colours come alive with the fading light levels, so you can enjoy your garden as the sun goes down.

Repot the plants separately in the autumn before the frosts. Keep them on the dry side during winter and protect from freezing temperatur­es. Give them fresh compost in spring and place outside at the end of May next year.
