Rhoeo tricolor is a low-growing perennial plant native to Mexico. It is characterized by its rosette of lance-shaped leaves that grow in a spiral pattern around a central stem. The leaves are typically 6-12 inches long and are a combination of vibrant colors, including green, purple, and pink. The upper side of the leaves is glossy and dark green, while the underside is a rich purple or burgundy color, creating a visually appealing contrast.
