Gardening: I have a plant that has pink in the middle and yellow around sides.
These plants get a flower first then a large leaved tall plant, beautiful red colors running thru the middle if the green leaf. I starts out with a pink flower and yellow flowers around the sides then next to it it shuts up these tall leaves.

One thing confuses me a bit. Why are you having to replant every year? Don't know if you have Vinca Major or Minor but both are perennials.
