Notes
'Harlequin' pothos (Epipremnum aureum 'Harlequin') is a trailing vine for containers, shade gardens, and indoor spaces. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun to full shade and dry to average, loamy soil. The white and dark green leaves are highly variegated, and this is one of the rarest pothos. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Keep it away from pets because it is toxic to dogs and cats.
Pairs well with Blue star fern, Escargot begonia, and Silver squill.
