Piper methysticum 'Bright Eyes'

Piper 'Bright Eyes' is a rarely found variegated cultivar of P. methysticum. The glossy, green, heart-shaped leaves are splashed with golden yellow near the center of the leaf. P. methysticum is itself a domesticated variety of its wild ancestor Piper wichmannii,. The leaves and stems produce a natural secretion, tiny opaque dots, called cystolyths along with black pepper specs. These little crystals & specs are sometimes thought to be pests, but are not harmful & the plant should be secreting them!
