Variegated plants have part of the normal green portion of the plant leaf being replaced by white, cream, yellow, or occasionally other colors. How cool is that!
Aspidistra ‘Snow Cap’ 
Aucuba ‘Suruga Benten’ 
Aspidistra ‘Snow Cap’
As a design element, variegated plants are often used as the center of attention or as a focal point in the landscape to lighten up a normally dark space.
Polygonum ‘Freckles’ 
Fatsia japonica ‘Variegata’ 
Brunnera ‘Jack of Diamonds’
Plants with bold variegation seem to scream for attention in the garden, hence their use as accent plants. As with all brightly variegated plants, they show off best when contrasted against a dark background. Whether planted against a mostly green hedge, or a larger backdrop of deciduous trees, some background is needed to properly display variegated trees, shrubs and perennials.
Rohdea ‘Miho-no-Matsu’ 
Zingiber ‘White Feather’
What tree are the aspidistra growing under?
Hope the polygonum and rhodea become available soon.
The aspidistra are at the base of Pinus densiflora ‘Umbraculifera’. The polygonum and rohdea are both scheduled for production in 2021.
