    Bought this at home depot cause I loved the color of the leaves, but there was no tag on it telling me what it is.
    Top side of spiky leaves are variegated white & green, & the undersides are a beautiful deep purple.
    Thanks, Donna

    Lovely plant! Lowe's has it here in New Jersey in the summer by the name "Moses in a Cradle". Deer and groundhogs love it!
