A very unusual and new shade loving form of B. palmata from Taiwan, introduced by Patrick Blanc. Silver spotted green leaves bear open white flowers. A lovely architectural foliage plant. Will stand a little frost (reputed to stand -3 degrees) but is generally un-tried. A good reliable plant with us. Makes an excellent house plant.
