Description:
There are semi-shaded spots in every garden that need a bit of lightening up, and Lightenup™ does it to perfection. It’s a nice contrast with darker foliage, and the yellow-cream & green variegation is highlighted by bright yellow fan flowers from winter to summer; a delight for butterflies and the eye. It’s hardiness in a range of climates, from cool temperate to sub- tropical in well drained clay or sandy loams of a neutral pH. It tolerates light frosts and will also flourish in a second line coastal garden. Also useful indoors as cut foliage.
