At first these flowers have not been categorized into ornamental plants, aka wild plants that grow and develop together with weeds at the height of a human chest.

According to ornamental plant cultivation partners, that this flower grows and is long in Florida as tall as thatched grass that lives in the wild.

While in the area where I live, the city of Medan, this flower can grow in pots about the size of a child's waist in general.

I also plan to plant in my yard, because this plant is very beautiful and charming with distinctive colors, the softness of the colors contained in the leaves or flower petals is extraordinary beauty in the nuances of ornamental plants.
