Before I saw the words at the bottom I thought to myself how much that looked like ornamental Kale but thought the colors too bright and too lush to be kale! Great photo
I have never grown them. I can’t even recall now but it sounds like they may be perennials? I know living in CT they were annuals as they couldn’t make it through the whole winter. Working in a garden shop when I was younger I do remember seeing them with snow on them so they are somewhat resilient.
probably. most of the things I have tried to plant here that I used to grow in CT have died. I have to figure it out since the heat and rain are so different here.

They are definitely annuals, Christine. I’ve never seen them come back in the spring but they hang around for a good part of the winter.

I wonder if they sell them here in FL. I don’t know if I have ever seen them, but then again I haven’t really plant shopped.

They seem to like the cold weather so maybe it’s too hot in Florida.
