RICO SUAVE™ knows how to work a room, putting his charming good looks to work seducing everyone within view. Gotta love that confidence! His gold-orange ruffled petals beckon you closer so you can appreciate his mysterious deep burgundy center. Despite being highly fashionable, RICO SUAVE™ is an easygoing guest, happy with lots of sun and liquid refreshments. Find him comparing notes with Gold Digger™. They’re two peas in pod (Or plants in a pot).
