| I have been given a variegated version of this plant about 3ft tall. Can anyone tell me if it is very hardy and will it withstand being planted in the shade? I have never seen one of these before, I will probably plant it against a fence but it will only get sun for a couple of hours in the morning. |

| My experience is that it has been quite hardy here in Yorkshire owing to the much milder winters over recent years. If there is risk of temps down to below -5C or strong freezing winds it is likely to loose it foliage and soft upper stem growth. I find it best as a well shrub in a sheltered situation. Partial shade is no problem, in fact it prefers it. Others may have different experinces with X Fatshedera lizei 'Variegata'. My Website |

| I have the plain green version rescued from an office waste paper bin several years ago. It is outside in shade and has survived ok. (Somerset) It is not self-clinging and needs tying up. |
