A. Purple fountaingrass (Pennisetum setaceum 'Rubrum') -- 2
B. Coleus (Solenostemon 'Sun Velvet Red') -- 3
C. Plectranthus 'Variegatus' -- 2
D. Impatiens 'Dazzler Pink' -- 2
E. Licorice plant (Helichrysum petiolare) -- 2

Two of my favorite plants, sweet potato vine and creeping jenny with a little licorice plant added in.

My mother loves sweet potato vine too. They are growing on me- I mean- I love green, so why not?
