    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    AKA Fallopia x bohemica 'Spectabilis' A well behaved form of Knotweed with green leaves heavily marbled and frosted with cream. Greenish-white blooms are sterile. The amount of white variegation is so intense, the plant never reaches the proportions or vigor of the green species. (Where the leaves are white, there's no chlorophyll so that part of each leaf doesn't feed the plant -- like many variegated plants, it's just much less vigorous.)
