A rare and stunning variegated cultivar that develops creamy white pinstripes on dark green leaves. This naturally occurring sport was discovered in a Florida greenhouse and quickly became a collector's favorite. Unlike most variegated plants, the Birkin's stripes become more pronounced with age and proper light. Its compact, self-heading growth makes it perfect for tabletops and shelves. Pet owners note: Keep away from curious cats and dogs as it contains calcium oxalate crystals.
