    As roders has come along and said he bought it for a hanging basket, I am thinking it is a Fatshedera lizei variegata (Araliaceae), Aralia Ivy.

    This was a very popular houseplant in America although it is an outdoor semi-shrub/climber from France, a cross between a Fatsia and Hedera.

    I have seen them quite "white" like that pictured.

    I know this one as well! [​IMG] It was just so familiar but you win some and lose some and that's why there's lots of us "guessing" or identifying.

    I am surprised, dearest, you bought this for a hanging basket! :eek: I'd like to know what size your hanging baskets are!

    Lovely shrub though.

    [​IMG] LoL....It's fine as a basket plant in the first year when aquired it was 2" high.......it's the following years it becomes a thug and can take over large areas.
