Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Evergreen clumper with 2’ upright arching dark green leaves splashed with yellow; can expand 4-6’ wide where happy! Great tallish ground cover for a protected shaded site; regular water and decent soil drainage (dry shade tolerant once established). Tropical look in a relatively hardy plant; also, great houseplant. Weird brownish alien flowers at soil level (you’ll have to look for these!).
