Zebrina Rojo is one of those bigger than life type plants that grow readily in frost-free climates and absolutely fascinate Pacific NW gardeners. Massive paddle-shaped green leaves are mottled with deep red, growing on a stem that can eventually reach six to eight feet tall in the ground, and maybe half that height in a large container. Technically a perennial, Zebrina Rojo is frost-tender, and requires lots of mulching and shelter from our Pacific NW winters if grown in the ground. Grown in a large pot, determined gardeners may bring it indoors during the cold months as long as they have a well-lit room.
