Ilex myrtifolia 'Duling's Variegated'
Variegated myrtle-leaf holly

An amazing myrtle-leaf holly with a bold white stripe around each leaf. We haven't grown it for long but it makes a dazzling display already as a young plant.

Primulina ligustiformis

We've been growing this little African violet relative outdoors for years.  It makes a flat rosette of succulent leaves topped for long periods with dainty purple flowers held on wiry stems. 

Phoenix ×golkoyanahybrid
date palm

A natural hybrid of P. dactylifera × P. theophrasti.

Grows on the Golkoy Peninsula on the Aegean coast of southwestern Turkey. Supposedly the hardiest form of date palm, perhaps even into zone 8. We haven't tried it outdoors ourselves yet.

Helwingia japonica (heavy variegation)
Variegated Japanese helwingia

We acquired this beauty in 2024 in Japan from a specialty nursery where it drew us like a beacon.  The foliage is heavily speckled with gold making it almost more gold-leafed than variegated.  It has been a quick grower in the nursery.  As an added bonus, the odd flowers form in the center of each leaf.

Ginkgo biloba 'California Sunset'
variegated ginkgo

A slow-growing, compact, upright form. Leaves are quite narrow and emerge pale yellow then mature to dark green with golden stripes.

Eriobotrya japonica (white splash)
Variegated loquat

This is one of the much lusted after variegated forms of the evergreen fruiting loquat. We have grown this plant for nearly 2 decades with no problems.
