The Coniogramme japonica ‘Variegata’ is a striking and elegant foliage fern that immediately draws attention with its unique patterning. For lovers of unusual foliage plants, this is a true must-have: refined in structure, yet with a distinctive presence.
This variegated form of the Japanese bamboo fern features elongated, leathery leaves with a bold pattern of pale yellow to creamy stripes along the veins.
This fern thrives in partial shade to light shade. Filtered light brings out the most beautiful leaf pattern. Too much direct sun can cause leaf scorch, while deep shade may make the variegation less pronounced.
