Episcia (Flame Violet)
Episcia, commonly known as Flame Violet, is a lush trailing plant prized for its velvety, richly colored leaves and delicate tubular flowers. The foliage comes in shades of bronze, burgundy, and deep green with shimmering patterns, while bright red, pink, or orange blooms add pops of color throughout the growing season. Soft, low-growing, and full of texture, Episcia is perfect for hanging baskets and warm indoor spaces.
