This beautiful foliage plant can be grown indoors or out. It's three to five-lobed, grey-green leaves have bold yellow margins, so it really adds a bright splash of colour when grown as a house plant and allowed to trail over a windowsill or ledge. If it gets too big, this versatile evergreen climber can be planted outside in a sheltered position and allowed to cover an unsightly wall. - Garden care: Water regularly during the growing season. Plants may be pruned at any time of the year to keep within bounds.
- Humans/Pets: Harmful if eaten; skin irritant/allergen
