There are several cultivars with variegated foliage - 'Kumson' being one of the more spectacular ones grown primarily for its striking foliage. Although we don't have one planted in our landscape yet, it's quite vigorous in a pot so we usually prune it back to promote new growth with the bright variegation and haven't seen much for flowers yet. Picture of the foliage below - although it's a bit fuzzy, it shows the unique foliage. |
