    This Japanese fleece flower has stunning green leaves splashed with white as well as coral pink new growth and pink stems. It is a moisture-loving plant that remains controlled and does not run. Excellent cut flower.

    A spectacular buckwheat with new stalks emerging coral in spring and looking much like large pink asparagus. Quickly reach 4 feet tall with leaves splashed white, green and pink. Tiny white flowers in late summer.

    Formerly Polygonum cuspidatum, now Fallopia japonica 'Variegata' Japanese knot weed. A big, dramatic, plant 5-6 feet tall, with stems that look like bamboo and frothy masses of tiny white flowers in summer, with leaves splashed liberally with white. The straight species is extremely invasive, and there seem to be two different variegated forms out there, one that is an aggressive spreader, and then this one, which hasn't spread much at all for us. Tough to the point of fault, can take sun to fairly deep shade. Zone 4

This variety remains controlled and does not spread wildly. The eye catching variegated foliage is excellent as a cut in arrangements. Grows 36-40" tall. Hardy zone 5-9. Part shade.
