Excoecaria bicolor variegata

Tropical Asian shrub in the Euphorbia family with bold burgundy backed leaves. This selection a strong creamy white variegation, the combination is stunning. Full sun in the tropics, part shade elsewhere.  Can get 4' tall and wide. Dislikes temps below 35 F., better with warmth and humidity. First saw this plant in San Francisco at a flower show and it when to the top of my want list. The green version is cool, but the variegated form is stunning.
