The leaves can be 12 x 14in; although, in a home setting this leaf size isn't likely to occur. The leaf is gray green in the center and on the margin with a wide silver band. The flowers are pink and appear most of the year.

Best purchase thus far.
I recently ordered this plants from Steve's leaves. I could not have been happier!! The packaging was secured, enshuring the plant arrived in perfect condition. Upon on boxing , I was pleasantly surprised by how healthy and vibrant the plant looked. The leaves were lush, green, and full with no sign of damage or wilting. It was clear that the plant had been well taken care of before being shipped.
