Growing Tips
Plant in sun or partial shade in well-drained soil. Best variegation develops with some direct sun but avoid scorching afternoon sun. Water regularly during establishment. Light pruning in spring helps maintain shape and encourages colourful new growth.
Looks Great With
Stunning alongside purple-leaved plants like heucheras and berberis. Complements spring bulbs, hellebores and early perennials. The variegated foliage brightens combinations with dark green evergreens and provides contrast for deep purple flowers.
