## Overview

The Pilea microphylla 'Variegata' is a compact, tricolor foliage plant ideal for terrariums, containers, or as ground cover. Growing up to 6 inches tall and spreading 9 inches wide, it thrives in partial shade to sun and blooms from May to August. Hardy in USDA zones 9-11, it’s a vibrant, low-maintenance choice for modern indoor and outdoor spaces.

## Description

Also known as Artillery Fern, Pilea microphylla features eye-catching foliage held on a compact plant. Its tiny, rounded leaves emerge white. Later, they change to a mix of white, pink, and green. The colors intensify in bright light. Stems are light green. The plant is not related to ferns, despite its common name. You can expect a fern-like appearance though, with its multitude of petite leaves on short, arching stems. This is a colorful addition to any hanging basket, green roof, terrarium, or ground cover display. It grows just 4-6" tall, so it works particularly well as a "tree" in the fairy garden or miniature garden. Please wait to order Pilea microphylla if temperatures have reached 90° F or more in your state. These plants are sensitive to overheating and might not arrive in good condition. Thank you.
