Striking foliage plant for indoors or tropical gardens. Compact-growing, ideal for underplanting. Herringbone patterned leaves are silver-green above, purple below – this variety Amagris is more silvery-grey than the regular species form, very attractive. Likes humidity so give it a mist occasionally if growing indoors. Here’s a useful article by gardener Arno King on ctenanthes
