VARIEGATED FAIRY BELLS
Slender stems bearing fresh green, broadly striped cream pretty leaves. Small, greenish-white tubular flowers hang under the foliage in late spring or early summer followed by black berries in early autumn. Like a small but daintier Solomon’s Seal. Makes a rugged constitution in the garden which is perfect contrast for garden plants with a more uniform habit.
