Hypoestes Pink Polka Dot is a great choice to mix in with other foliage plants in the shade. Its pink will sure stand out amongst other plants and give your beds a unique look.
Pink Polka Dot will give months of color and enjoyment in the house too! Sow Polka Dot plant seeds indoors 4 - 6 weeks before frost season has passed. Use well-draining potting soil and gently press Hypoestes seeds into the soil.
Covering with plastic wrap to hold in heat and moisture is helpful. Pink Polka Dot plants tend to get leggy, so do not hesitate to pinch them back to encourage a more compact plant. Grow as a perennial houseplant or an annual outdoor plant in zones 3 to 8. May grow as a perennial in USDA zone 9.

yes id did buy and receive bamboo seeds from you. i planted same and now cautiously await some indication the sprouting will begin. we are in northern nj where it is quite cold so i am keeping the plantings in a planter system we use for seedlings. only time luck and patience will tell the ultimate story. if the seeds come to be small plants we will replant into pots until spring and after that we are guardedly optimistic. thanks for the request and service. stewart a farber
I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
