The thick, slightly corrugated leaves add texture to the plant, making it a standout choice for shaded areas.

In mid-summer, the plant produces tall, pale lavender flowers, adding further visual interest. Its vivid variegation and substantial foliage make it an excellent choice for borders or woodland gardens, where it provides both contrast and color throughout the season.
