There is nothing else on the planet like Carolina SweetheartTM. A carnival of color in early summer as new leaves emerge. It starts out with pink flowers in the spring. Then the new leaves emerge purple, but over time, gain various shades of white, green, and hot pink. It makes coleus look drab in comparison. Eventually, the leaves turn green in the summer. It was developed as a collaborative project by NC State University and Star Roses and Plants Nursery. (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Garden Plant Finder)
