It looks really pretty Nicola - foliage plants are so useful.

However!! Theres a word of warning in the Cultivation section on this page:

Looks like it may spread out of control in open ground.
Are you planning on planting it out?

yes around the "little garden" there are two rather small woods made mostly of laurels ,sambucus some celtis australis and acacia spina-christi, gets very dark and shady there,  and the ground under the trees is simply covered with ivy and some arum italicum, I actually hope to make it "colonize some areas as his variegated foliage is really decorative....and sort of "mouve" the landscape with other compatible species
As u might remember I made this year the "challange" of making a small secret garden inside a big blackthorn and cane  "territory" so I'm well prepared and aggressive towars "invasive plants"..... ( I bet I'm making Eric  Palustris horrify  (( ps ciao))by reading this :) )
