Several years ago I bought this beautiful plant in FL and lost the name tag. I keep it in greenhouse in winter for fear it will die and set it outside in summer. It has never bloomed-doesn't need to bloom-beautiful without. I remember the nursery salesperson told me it was patented.
It sure is pretty, even if it doesn`t ever bloom. Have you tried to make cuttings. I think I would just in case something happened to it.Heaven forbid.
I know! I know! Verigated bush thingy =)

.Sure is pretty whatever it is..Maybe get ya need to get it a guard dog.

It sure is a pretty plant. I have no idea what it is though.

Ok OK i'm done...back to the mystery plant....Sorry Bward
it is a hibiscus!
It looks a little like a varigated Ardesia sp?
I knew I had seen that somewhere, like Tampa where my Aunt lives.
inclined to agree with vredfish - give it max sun and hold off on the water and see if you get some buds going.
Bward:
Your plant reminds me of Graptophyllum pictum. The leaves can be green and yellow or bronze, orange, pink, or purplish with paler markings.
Good shot delecie,
............real close but all the examples I found had the color pattern reversed,,,being white in the center instead of on the edge of the leaf,and even the Graptophyllum Pictum Red does not have the red underside that Bward's beauty has.
Keep trying ,I bet you will come up with the name....I'm sure out of it ;-)
Bward, What part of Florida? Central, south, northwest?
Hi Barbara,
It is a variegated Clerodendrum quadriloculare 'Brandonii'.
They also get a big cluster of flowers in the winter.
