SYNGONIUM PODOPHYLLUM 'IMPERIAL WHITE'

Cultivar

CULTIVAR DESCRIPTION:

An arrowhead vine with arrow-shaped leaves of deep bluish green marked by a contrasting network of ivory-white veins, once widely grown in California greenhouses.¹

NOTES:

1. Unconfirmed: The name is now confused in the trade: some stock is mostly white with a thin dark green edge and may be a sport of 'Green Gold', while other plants are white-sectored and belong with 'Albo-Variegatum'.²
