Care Guide: Keep It Vibrant
- Light: Thrives in part shade to full sun. Bright sunlight intensifies its creamy white streaks, but it’s flexible enough for softer light.
- Soil: Moist, well-draining soil is its happy place, but it’s also a champ in boggy spots or near water features.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist—this plant loves water but isn’t looking to drown.
- Feeding: A light dose of balanced fertilizer in spring keeps its variegation crisp and its growth lush.
- Pruning: Trim away tired or faded blades in late winter to make room for fresh, vibrant foliage.
- Hardiness: Hardy down to USDA zone 5, it stays evergreen through winter, adding life to your garden year-round.
