It proliferates very easily. The stems grow up to 3.3 feet (1 m) tall, not branched or only sparsely at the base. They become softly woody below. Leaves are up to 4.4 inches (11 cm) long and 2 inches (5 cm) wide, sessile or with an up to 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) long pedicel.Flowers are hot pink and appear in clusters on wiry stalks opening towards evening and hanging over the foliage in summer. Fruits are globose, yellow or pinkish-yellow capsules with black, glossy seeds. They are showier than the flowers. Jewels of Opar prefers a full sun location but can tolerate a slight shade for part of the day. It does well in hot, dry areas but benefits from some watering. It can be drought-tolerant for several weeks at a time. It does best in sandy and well-drained soil and tolerates poor soils and heat. Excellent for rock gardens and hot areas where not too much else grows. The lime green leaves brighten any garden, making it a wonderful border plant or addition to any flower garden. It will reseed itself once established. Just thin out the seedlings or transplant them to where you want them. If reseeding is undesirable, deadhead as seeds form. Sadly seeds usually form on the same stalks still flowering, so this is often hard to do.It grows well as a pot plant and is excellent on hot sunny decks where the lime-green leaves provide an appearance of coolness.
