Nursery contributed plant descriptions

White Marble is a strain of the uncommon H. lividus, whose wild populations are limited to the island of Majorca in the Mediterranean. Less hardy than other species, it can be grown in a protected spot with overhead protection from buildings or larger plants. The gorgeous glossy green leaves are highlighted with creamy silver veins. The flowers are creamy green. It differs from 'Pink Marble' by having no pink colouration in the flowers, stems or leaves - all highlights are white. Deer resistant.
