| (=‘Variegata’) Grown for its stunning foliage, this is a big plant that will slowly spread to form an indestructible patch. Leaves are light green, heavily splashed with creamy-white and flushed with pink in the spring. Clusters of fragrant white flowers appear in late summer. Protect from hot afternoon sun to prevent scorching in warm-summer regions. If spreading is a fear, grow this plant in a large tub or container to prevent the roots from escaping. The outstanding foliage is terrific for flower arranging, and is a nice backdrop to other plants in the garden.
