One year I bought seeds from TM for a variegated one and out of 100 seeds got
5 plants, one was a little variegated, they do have nice almost lacy foliage
that is a good blue green color. I consider them a novelty plant and would
not let them take over.
They do release a volatile gas that is an irritant to a few people-thankfully
the only thing that effects me is the poison ivy. The poison Ivy got me this
spring already-must have pulled a woody stem of it out of the wild flower
garden-because I got the rash between my fingers, kinda an irritation with
three weeks of scratching.
