Polygonatum odoratum 'Byakko' Zones 4-9 #053-015
This variegated form has a leaf that is half green and half white. The tip of the leaf is green, and part adjoining the stem white. The color is best in light shade with some morning sun and is better on larger plants. The name means "white tiger".

Limited supply.
