I had 10 of these shrubs in my yard. I have lost 4 to what ( I think is scale) It was only on this variety and now I see it is spreading.

Similar to others like Moonshadow. Nice creamy yellow centers. Varigation off some in too much shade or sun. Very low growing.

Relatively large leaves are deep green with a central, bright yellow spot or streak. Very attractive effect. Similar to 'Surespot', but the latter has a larger creamy-yellow central spot instead. Both are worthwhile additions to the landscape.
