Variegated leaf are leaf / loose leaf and transfer leaf that feature at least more than one colour, they are good alternatives to the usual gold and silver leaf. Yellow, cream, green and white are the most common colors found on variegated leafs, but many others are possible. The additional color may be focused around the leaf's edge or appear in veins, spots, stripes or patches on the leaf. In most cases, the areas of color are irregular or uneven in shape. Variegated leaves indicate an absence of chlorophyll.
