Comments:
This plant grows well in shady areas, and slowly spreads.
It is easy to pull up if needed, and transplants well.
The leaves are an attractive color and pattern. This plant came from my mother's garden, where she let it grow down a slope in the front year below a live oak tree. I use this plant in several places in my shady garden.
