‘SunPatiens Tropical Rose’

Unique variegated foliage of ‘Tropical Rose’ 

New for 2017 we have a unique SunPatiens variety from Sakata. ‘Tropical Rose’ has brilliant rose red flowers, just as we would expect from a plant in this series but you’ve probably already noticed its most distinguishing feature: variegated foliage. Brilliant yellow is framed by dark green for an unusual, eye-catching look—it’s a show in and of itself.

These mounding plants are nice and tidy, and covered with flowers all the way up to a hard frost. They thrive in the heat and humidity of summer, and can be used virtually anywhere, from full sun to full shade.

While ‘Tropical Rose’ is pretty much a one-plant-band, ‘Cabaret Purple’ calibrachoa adds even more color and looks elegant trailing out around the edges of it in a basket. We also like to pair this selection with other chartreuse foliage, like ‘Marguerite’ ipomoea, to play up the variegation.

This ornamental variety is available in the 8-inch pot.
