Attractive tricolored foliage has white and green striping with pink highlights on the leaves and purple undersides.

Small white flowers surrounded by purple bracts appear intermittently throughout the spring, summer and fall. Rhoeo ‘Tricolor’ is also an easy-care houseplant for a bright, indirect light area of your home.
