Reineckea carnea 'Variegata'
9th Febraury 2006
The green leaved form of Reineckea carnea is sometimes promoted as a pink flowered equivalent
to the Lily of the Valley, which is botanically true but gardening nonsense (and there is no shortage of
that!)
This wonderful variegated form is as brilliant as the green form is dowdy. There are times when
this is the most desireable six inches in the garden ( ok John, leave it there, put the tacky
comment down on the ground and step away from it!)

It is still growing strongly, but it is really unstable, and I could lose the last variegated shoots at any time.
