    Hi all
    New here but keen to identify this and any help appreciated. Variegated, non-flowering, soft to touch. Requires lots of watering if in a container and the easiest plant I've ever taken cuttings from. Grows rapidly and gets bushy - this is a young plant from a cutting I took a couple of months back.

    Any thoughts would be really appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Sean

    I sort of recognise the leaf shape, but to be honest I have no idea, but I like the look of it, wouldn't mind one myself :d :thumb:

    Sorry couldn't be much help, the leaves do look a little like dahlia but they flower of course....

    It looks like Limelight. We bought it as a bedding plant but it grew to about 3' fairly quickly & I binned it.
    It's probably OK in the right place!
