Red-Leaf Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum)
Red-Leaf Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum): one of the most decorative plants you can have in the garden. This cotton species has completely red leaves and stems, which quickly contrast with the ripe, pure white cottony fruits. Like other species, the plant is hardy and undemanding, but it struggles with weed competition. Effective mulching or prompt removal of weeds is recommended. We grow it at the entrance to the estate for its extraordinary beauty; it can also be grown in a pot, where, if kept indoors during the winter, it will become a perennial.
It is transplanted at temperatures above 10°C and is harvested when the fruits are fully open.A choice for collectors and those who like to bring color to the garden.
