Variegated Plantain (Plantago Major Variegata)
The cream and green marbled leaves form a basal rosette of oval leaves. Small green flowers on a narrow spike in June - July. Self-seeds easily, remove flowers in self-seeding is not desired.
This mound of variegated plantain leaves is great just to marvel at; however, variegated plantain leaves also work well for bee-stings!
Plant this interesting novelty for a walkway or pathway planting in sun to open part shade.
