Variegated Plants

If you’re a foliage fan, then you probably like your leaves to mix things up a little from time to time. That’s where variegated plant varieties can come in so handy. Variegated simply means to be patterned with another colour (or colours). From cream-skirted ivies to mottled virginia creepers, variegated plants add significant visual interest wherever they’re placed. Variegated? More like varie-great-ed, right? Right?...
