    One of the prettiest leopard plants, this brought to us from Japan and sporting 6-10" rounded leaves that emerge beautifully marbled and spotted in cream and pink, eventually aging to green. (No it does look like its been attacked by spider mites.) Moisture loving, though unlike their ligularioid relatives, they like good drainage. These remain evergreen to upper USDA zone 8, resprouting after a zone 7 blast especially if mulched. We have a container of this lovely creature situated in front of Fatsia japonica 'Spider's Web' for great effect in our shade garden.
