Compact perennial growing to 20-30″” tall x 20-24″” wide. This colorful and unique variety is revered for its symmetrical rosettes of bluish-green variegated foliage with creamy-yellow margins that flush with shades of red pink and orange in the cooler months. Adding further appeal are the clusters of interesting lime yellow and red variegated flowers held above the foliage in late-spring into summer. This variety is relatively pest free and is not appealing to rabbits or deer. Great as a single specimen or planted in mixed borders as well as making a fine container specimen. Prefers a full sun to partial shade expose and a well-drained soil. Moderate to light water needs.
