Here is a quick story about this red star plant. I bought it at my local Walmart garden center in the clearence section. It was something like $1.10, about 2" tall and almost dead. I took it home and planted it in a new pot (which I alsio bought on clearence),put in some new potting soil, gave it a drink and 1 month later, here it is. All beautiful and strong, and it gets bigger everyday. When the weather cools down I have a perfect spot for it in my yard. Glad you like it. Bill
