      There are loads of them that come mainly in blues, purple/pinks and whites - with a variety of leaf shapes and colours. Some will form small clumps and others can grow way above your head. They're easy to look after and very easy to take cuttings from. Do cuttings of yours and you can have lots of new plants by next year :dbgrtmb:

      Some for you to look at.
