Arboricola Variegated

(Schefflera Arboricola Variegata)

Variegated Arboricola, or the umbrella plant, is a versatile addition to Florida landscapes with its glossy green leaves marbled with cream to yellow blotches. The attractive variegation offers striking color contrast to other plants, especially when used in mixed planting schemes. As a Florida-friendly shrub, it handles the heat and humidity well, while also being a great indoor plant for bright light situations. Its bushy growth habit makes it excellent for creating privacy screens, hedges, or for container growing.
