    Is it a Gaura of sorts?

    Does your company sell plants, that is very pretty, but I dont suppose it would grow in this country.

  • Let me try to write "portuguenglish"...

    Lyn, 

    I sell this plant to my clients in Northern Portugal . When you come on holiday to Oporto , I 'll give you a plan ! This herbaceous , even here, does not survive outside when winter is more rigorous .

    No chance here then, its a beautiful plant though. It has yellow flowers as well as the striking coloured leaves.

  • Lyn,
    although they may die with the low temperatures, it is with the arrival of colder weather that its leaves are redder an brilliant.

    Antonio,

    I think it's Alternanthera ficoidea 'Tricolor'. It might be another cultivar though.  Alternanthera species are also known as Parrot Leaf or Joseph's Coat.

  • Thanks Flowercild. 

    I will check if it is, whether there are similarities... However, I attached a photo of another plant which i dont know the botanical name (will be the last of my current " collection "). It is a mid-size shrub, evergreen.. the photo is the current week.
    Thank You. (can then send the bill...)

    After some (painful) research, I came across Serissa japonica variegata 'pink fairy',

    though the bark colour seems diferent.

    DimWit, I think you should change your name image  'cause it looks like that's the right answer!! Good find image
