Variegated Eugenia (single plant)

Note : size 30cms tall

Variegated Eugenia refers to a variety of the Eugenia genus of plants that have variegated foliage. The Eugenia genus is a diverse group of plants, and some species are cultivated for their ornamental value. When the leaves of these plants are variegated, it means they have two or more distinct colors or shades on the same leaf, creating an attractive and eye-catching appearance.

One of the most common variegated Eugenia plants is the Variegated Eugenia (Eugenia spp.), which is also known by other names such as Variegated Brush Cherry or Variegated Surinam Cherry. Here are some key features of Variegated Eugenia:

1. Foliage: The leaves of Variegated Eugenia are typically a glossy dark green with irregular creamy-white or yellowish variegation. This variegation can vary in intensity and pattern among different cultivars.
2. Growth Habit: Variegated Eugenia is often grown as a small to medium-sized shrub or tree, but it can also be pruned to maintain a more compact size. It can be trained into various shapes, including topiary forms.
3. Flowers and Fruit: This plant may produce small, inconspicuous flowers and, in some cases, small edible fruit that resembles cherries. However, it’s primarily grown for its attractive foliage rather than for its fruit.
4. Cultural Requirements: Variegated Eugenia is typically grown as an ornamental houseplant or as an outdoor plant in regions with a mild climate. It prefers well-drained soil, moderate watering, and partial to full sunlight.

Variegated Eugenia can be used as an attractive ornamental plant in gardens, as a potted plant for indoor or outdoor decor, or as part of a topiary design due to its versatility and visually appealing foliage. It’s important to note that specific care requirements may vary depending on the exact species or cultivar within the Eugenia genus.
