 | | Variegated means "having marks, stripes, or blotches of some color other than the basic background color, in plants that are green." Variegated plants are rarely considered a group unto themselves. |
 | | Variegated foliage encompasses crimson, purple, orange, red, yellow, pink, apricot, yellow, mauve, and the varying shades and tints of green. |
 | | Also, the variegations may be reversed; thus, the green becomes the edging with the contrasting hue as the main leaf color. |
