This is a naturally occurring form that has been cultivated and named. The surface of the leaves has a marbled texture, with a wide ruffled margin. The margin is brighter green than the middle of the leaf. The bright colour and texture of the leaves make the plant attractive for contrast in the garden. Flower stalks to about 30 cm long are produced at the ends of mature branches.
Flowers are small and pale yellow-green.
The flowering stems become brown and remain on the plants long after flowering. Full sun or light shade. It is best to remove flower stalks during the nursery production cycle. Although the individual flowers are not especially showy, the effect of the pale yellow flowers above the green foliage on an established landscape planting is attractive. Zone 5b-7a, particularly if there is snow cover.
