Does anyone know what this is?



foliage



flowers and seed balls



Thanks in advance. We picked it for the color of the foliage but the woman at the little nursery where we were couldn't remember the name of it and it wasn't labeled.

looks like a heuchera but the leaves don't seem to match to me...the heucheras i know have a more rounded leaf like a Hollyhock leaf...your plant does look familiar though

It is called Jewels of Opar or Talinum. I have some in my garden as well. They are a reseeding annual and bloom for months.

Thank you Alan. I noticed after the flowers those little balls are full of little black seeds. The name sounds very exotic.

Yep that's what they are alright,, I have them too,, However mine come back from the seeds dropping IF I could just get them all to drop in the same place it would look alot better,,
BTW Skippy I like that your's are potted up,, it looks very nice,, and great close up pictures!
