Attractive, variegated foliage with bright yellow nectar dots. The flowers, although small, are white and purple and very fragrant. The yellow dots on the leaves are believed to mimic butterfly eggs to convince interested butterflies to lay their eggs on a different passion vine that isn't already infested with butterfly larvae. Very interesting mechanism!
