For a striking color and textural contrast, tuck in with a yellow variegated plant such as Schefflera arboricola Trinette and Dazzle, or border with variegated Aztec Grass and Dianella Flax Lily. Feed with a slow-release granular 14-14-14 fertilizer every three months. Trim occasionally to keep desired shape.
