Centradenia grandiflora
is a tender shrub and will be an annual in inland gardens. But where
the frost is light, the foliage bronzes to red and the bright pink flowers
make a lively color clash. Centradenia grows to 2 feet tall and
across. It is native to Mexico and into Central America. Some
are calling it Spanish Shawl, but mostly it hasn't become common enough to
really warrant a common name. Plants will grow in full sun to light
shade.
