We picked this up as an unlabeled plant at a discount nursery. Through internet forums, I tentatively identified it as sasaella; everything matches, except the height - the sasaella is supposed to grow to 5', while ours doesn't get taller than about 1 foot. It starts out with a lot of the creamy color (left photo taken in May), and gets more of the green as the season wears on (right photo in August).

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. About my plant portraits
