Family myrsinaceae Life cycle perennial? Flowers white (late summer) Size 12" Light sun-part shade Cultural notes ordinary garden soil From seed reseeds in our garden Flowers first year from seed sown indoors early. Seed ripens late August Given its attractively variegated foliage, I'm surprised this plant isn't more common. Primarily a foliage plant, although we allow the flowers to develop and set seed: even though it is listed as a perennial, they very rarely survive the winter in our garden. But they self-seed rather vigorously (easy to pull up, luckily), so that we're not in danger of losing this little beauty.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following areas: side garden, back yard island
