Wonderful plant for the shade garden. I bought this plant originally in Maine and brought it with me when I moved to Virginia. I planted it near our front entry in the shade and its bright variegation really draws your eye to that area from spring through fall.

Will not tolerate sun or dry conditions. Be sure to remove any green foliage to keep the variegation.

This is a real eye catcher. Everyone who sees it wants one. Difficult to propagate. Does not like being divided, but it can be done, spring is probably best. Will not come true from seed.
