When protected by partial shade an awe inspiring triple variegation then emerges. Creamy yellow becomes icy with the slightest tinge of silver and is etched with dark green reticulation. On top of this, a blush of rouge smears from the leaves' centers and down the individual lobes. In summer dark green accented by even darker green veins dominates. Fall brings a cacophony of brilliant reds. #2 @ $45.00; 10" container sizes @ $65.00- $80.00
