My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Name That Plant!

Red stem mystery plan

13 years ago

My wife bought this a couple of years ago. We know it likes part shade, it doesn't seem to produce a flower, it was intended as an accent plant to a container, it cannot take frost, but will winter over and we can put it out the following year when it warms up.

Plant has several stems growing fairly straight up from the middle, they "snap" pretty easily if pushed. Plant is 2' to 3' tall. Stems are red. Leaves are a light green with white and then yellowing stipes; darker underneath. It almost looks like a houseplant, and may in fact be used for that in some areas? Leaves are crinkly feeling, not smooth. Seems to root easily from cuttings in water.

Can anyone tell us what this is?
