I've had this plant for 1 yr, planted inground in am sun, pm shade. Gets green leaves, I want to cut them off, but if I do, then I won't have much of a plant. Slow grower. Picture I uploaded not the prettiest. I think the desert-like summer we experienced in 2005 took a toll on my plant. If it looks ratty next year I will change my rating to neutral.
Spring 2007. I got brave and started cutting off all the solid green leaves. Seems to have made for a more beautiful "variegated" plant. Still a slow grower.
