Notes
'Variegatum' spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum 'Variegatum') is an annual for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. This plant likes part sun to full shade and dry to moist soil of most types. It has an arching shape and grows at a moderate rate. The leaves stay evergreen, and the plant tolerates drought. Keep it away from pets, since it is toxic to them.
Pairs well with Kimberly queen fern, Evergold sedge, and Dragon Wing Red begonia.
