Amongst the various plants include Trimezia steyermarkii, Sedum mexicanum, Ligustrum undulatum 'Lemon and Lime Clippers', Agave, Euphorbia tithymaloides cultivar, Sauropus spatulifolius, Sansevieria trifasciata cultivar, Ophiopogon, Rondeletia leucophylla, Excoecaria cochinchinensis (variegated), Talinum triangulare (variegated), Spathoglottis plicata cultivars, Pseuderanthemum atropurpureum etc.

SAUROPUS SPATULIFOLIUS

This slow-growing plant from the Euphorbiaceae Family is so uniquely beautiful because of the contrast between its whitish midrib and veins against the darker green leaf lamina.

For those familiar with medicinal herbs, they would probably know more about the uses of this plant.
