I dont know of a website;however, there is a book by Susan Conder, VARIEGATED
LEAVES which is a fairly good resource. (It is by no means complete, but I
have found some things in it that I didnt know existed.)

This would be a good topic for discussion here dont you think----of course,
limited to non-sun plants.
You might also check out Plant Delights catalog, which has a large number of
pix of variegated plants that are uncommon.

Here is an idea--Why dont we send to the list a list of variegated plants we
grow, that are hardy to zone 5 and that are not commonly seen? I am now
growing a variegated heliopsis(sun) which is outstanding. Also, on the way are
two variegated hardy geraniums(Geranium ssp.), which will grow well in partial
shade. We could include shrubs, such as Eleutherococcus sieboldianus
'Variegatus' .

I think such a list would be helpful and interesting to all.
