Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This unusual variegated variety is characterized by the irregularly shaped leaves that are distorted by the varying amount and distribution of the gray-green variegated patterns. Strap like lobes and crumpled, erratically notched margins. The light green spring leaves become midgreeen for the summer, with light green and gray-green variegation, often as a thin band around the margin. Truly unique!
