Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Not really sure about the hardiness of this one either. Dan Heims gave me a piece of this Japanese named cultivar several years ago. I planted it outside one year and it didn't make it. I haven't gotten around to trying it again, but it makes a great hanging basket plant with its beautiful creamy white variegation.
