SCINDAPSUS PICTUS 'SILVERY ANN'

CULTIVAR DESCRIPTION:

Large, lance-shaped, light green leaves with large silver splotches, on a plant otherwise like 'Argyraeus'; some leaves are almost wholly silver.¹ Growers describe succulent, heart-shaped leaves with a satin finish and a high level of silvery variegation, softer foliage than 'Argyraeus', and some leaves that look as though they had been dipped in silver paint; it grows more slowly than 'Argyraeus' and is harder to come by.²,³,⁴
