Pinwheel petunias. Mottled redbuds. Pink poinsettias with white edges. Zebra grass. Sweetgums with rounded lobes. Variegated plants and chimeras contribute so much to our gardens and landscapes, but how do they arise? Many common examples of variegated plants and chimeras will be discussed so that all can appreciate the interesting biological processes that make these unique plant forms possible.
