They start out green and creamy yellow, turning to a richer yellow and green with time. The variegation in this plants is stable, so you will not see any growth with solid green leaves. Cold hardy to USDA Zones 5 - 11. Where summers are especially hot, placing it in your garden where there is partial shade in the afternoon is recommended.
