With semi-succulent stems bearing ovate, brick-red leaves with bright green, almost yellow margins, ‘Trusty Rusty’, is an excellent summer bedding plant, perfect for adding drama to summer planting schemes, what not pair with Heuchera ‘Lime Marmalade’ for a dazzling display? - Garden care: Plant out after all risk of frost has passed. Pinch out young shoots regularly to maintain foliage colour and a compact shape. Remove emerging flower spikes to maintain bushy habit. If growing in pots, move indoors in autumn to overwinter.
