Yellow-green leaves are marked with red around the centre and veins, creating a distinctive splash of colour. Small white summer flowers rise above the rounded foliage mound. Light shade helps keep the pale leaves looking their best.

Why we like it

• Yellow-green foliage brightens planting.
• Red vein markings give a striking contrast.
• A small mound suits edging and containers.

What to know

• Choose light or partial shade; pale foliage can scorch in strong midday sun.
• Plant in moist, well-drained soil with the crown at the soil surface.
• Water new plants and containers regularly, without leaving the roots saturated.
• Remove damaged leaves in spring and snip off spent flower stems.
• Check for vine weevil in pots and divide older, woody clumps to refresh them.
