B. ‘Cubensis’

SOME OLDER FAVORITES by Bob Hamm, Wichita Falls, Texas B. cubensis hort., an interesting shrub-like plant with dark reddish leaves with crinkled edges and pinkish flowers, is a good choice for a basket. It grows well, is bright and colorful, and with just a little pinching becomes very full. Let it dry slightly between watering and, if it gets too stringy, give it more light. Generally, it is not fussy.
