A Variegated Variety of Leaves

A Variegated Variety of Leaves - Information

You've seen leaves with multiple colors on them, often different ones.

This variegation can come from a few different sources. Chimeral variegation comes from two types of plant tissue that alternate in one plant. These plants are from a mixed genetic makeup.

Reflective variegation happens when a layer of air is sandwiched in the leaf surface. It tends to cause a white or silver reflection of light.

Want to try plants with variegation? Our Ribbon Grass is a great choice!
