Gardening in mostly deep shade in Zone 6. My passion is adding more native plants to my landscape & clearing out the foreign invasives.

After a rough transplant -- something dug him up and I had to replant after he sat who knows how long in the hot sun with his tongue hanging out -- he's recovering nicely. #interestingfoliage
Help me identify this plant. It's growing in the barberry bed at work. The colors say "coleus" to me but the leaves are too smooth. Could it be some kind of Persicaria? PlantID
Looks similar to an aglaonema.
No idea.
@BettyBurks Plant Net said the same thing, but don't those have kind of thick, waxy leaves like the ones on a Hoya? And could a Chinese Evergreen possibly spring to life by a parking lot in Michigan?
@emch iNaturalist says Red amaranth. They can definitely pop up anywhere. Yes, the Chinese evergreen has thicker kind of waxy leaves. https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/52328?locale=en-US Amaranthus cruentus
Well that's the fanciest pigweed I've ever seen @BettyBurks !
@emch it’s pretty. Lol.
