Example sentence(s):
  • "There is a primrose variety, and a kind with silver-variegated foliage. Došlo je jaglac raznolikosti, a neke vrste sa srebrnim-šarolik lišće. IRIS SIBIRICA. ..." - Home gardening website  
  • "Variegated foliage is plant foliage which grows in several different colors. Some plants have leaves which may individually vary in color, but more commonly, variegated foliage involves multiple colors on the same leaf. The foliage may be striped, splotched, or edged in a contrasting color. Many gardeners like plants with variegated foliage because it makes a garden look more visually dynamic, and it can relieve the bland effect of monochromatic greenery." - Wise Geek website
