This cultivar is sure to awe you in the spring with its two toned variegation. The boarder to the leaf is a bright yellow to lime green with bright vein of lush green. Eventually as the summer begins the entire leaf is taken over by the lush green coloration making a truly beautiful green dissectum. The shape is cascading and similar to that of an open umbrella.

The small size lends ‘Filigree’ well to container growing for porches or patios. The early spring colors perform best when placed in filtered afternoon light. ‘Filigree’ is a very fancy cultivar that is sure to be one of your favorite additions the garden.
