Pictures of Variegated Leaves

Plants With Bi-Colored Leaves Make for Striking Specimens

By , About.com Guide

Variegated leaves usually have one color on the inner part of the foliage and a second color along the edge of the leaf. Browse my pictures of variegated leaves for some examples. Included in this photo gallery are plants that go above and beyond the call of duty, featuring not two but three different colors on their leaves! Another way that plants with variegated leaves can "go the extra mile" is to offer colorful blooms and/or berries, as well; I supply examples in this photo gallery.
