    She is a Fancy Leaf variety that has a white leaf with Bold Red veins and very thin green netted veins She also has a very thin green border The Candy Cane produces a nice thick leaf so it should do good in the sun but we would recommend putting it a spot that receives only morning sun for Best Coloring!!
