Variegated leaves on plants add subtle enhancement to make the plant stand out. When used for landscaping, variegated plants add a touch of color to draw attention to the area. An indoor plant that is potted with a solid green leaf plant creates an attractive arrangement and adds distinction between the two plants.
Yucca/Dagger Plant/Spanish Bayonet
The sword-shaped leaves of the yucca plant are also fittingly known as the dagger plant or Spanish bayonet. A bright yellow color travels through the center for the length of the green leaf. The yucca grows best in zones 5 through 10 and should be planted in full sun to partial shade. The plant will grow to a height and width of about 2 feet. When in bloom, a cluster of white bell-shaped flowers will grow on stems that can reach nearly 6 feet tall. The yucca prefers rich soil that is kept moist; however, the plant is drought tolerant. Use this plant as a border or in a container for the patio.
Wintercreeper
The wintercreeper grows in zones 5 through 9. It is a hardy ground cover that does well in the shade but does not like damp soil. Planting the wintercreeper around the base of trees creates an attractive landscape. Leaves can vary from green and yellow to green and ivory. The wintercreeper will trail along the ground or climb, depending on the surroundings. This plant could become intrusive if not monitored and trimmed to control the growth.
Pothos
The golden pothos has leaves that are marbled with yellow and green. Plants that receive more light will produce leaves with more yellow in the marbling. The pothos adapts itself to various indoor conditions, which makes it a good houseplant. Cool temperatures, low humidity and low lighting will not deter the growth of this plant. The pothos prefers not to be soaked because this will produce mushy roots and the stems will rot and die. New plants are started from clippings taken from a healthy pothos. Pinch off about 5 inches from the end of a healthy stem and place the cut end in a glass of water until the roots (white tentacles) are about 4 inches long. A 6- or 8-inch pot, filled with potting soil, will hold 15 to 35 cuttings.
