Fittonia 'Flaming Fire' is a compact perennial with dark green leaves have contrasting veins of deep red. Adds colour to a shady spot in your garden or in pots and terrariums.
The stems are rather hairy and the flowers are white to off-white but rather insignificant.
With rooting stems, this plant makes an excellent groundcover for warmer climates or can be used to good effect spilling over the edge of low walls or pot rims. They do however need a fair amount of shade, though can handle some direct sun throughout the day.
For those in cooler climates these plants can be kept outdoors in summer and indoors in winter providing they have a bright location in the house or conservatory. Water from the bottom e.g. allow water to be drawn up from a saucer.
