Barb Rosen on Oct 15, 2015I believe from what I can see that you have a start of a variegated hydrangea, Frances. Take a look at this to see if your friend's shrub that is the mother plant is the same. http://www.finegardening.com/bigleaf-hydrangea-hydrangea-macrophylla-variegataHelpful Reply

Danielle on Oct 16, 2015That's a hosta. It's a perrenial, and it's mostly a foliage plant, though it will shoot up small purple flowers on a tall stalk once per year. IMHO hostas are one of the easiest outdoor plants to grow and keep looking nice. Keep it in dappled shade, make sure it gets about 1" of water per week, if it looks unhappy or isn't growing vigorously spread a good dose of compost around it, or if you're into chemicals use some 10-10-10 every 2-3 months. In 2 years you should probably be able to dig it up, split it into 2-3 pieces and replant. In 4-5 years you can potentially have a whole bed of them. I love them, and there are literally dozens of different varieties that all look a little different.Helpful Reply

Brenda on Oct 16, 2015To me this looks like Snow on the Mountain. It's very shade tolerant but will do well in the sun. It spreads like crazy. I planted a few in the woods and it took off. Grows where most plants won't. Hosta's will grow in a clump and have thick stocks. Snow on the Mountain will have thinner stems and they don't grow in clumps.Helpful Reply

L on Nov 17, 2015I thought host a at first but it may be Bishops Weed and if it is you'd better be sure that you like it before you plant it. I dug some up, built a raised bed over that spot with about a foot of soil and it still took over the bushes I plants on top of it. http://home.howstuffworks.com/goutweed-bishops-weed.htmHelpful Reply

Christina on Nov 29, 2015Diana, do you mean variegated red twig dogwood? I looks to me to be Variegated Hydrangea. It will grow more branches that come from the ground. It may not flower for about 3 years. Doesn't your neighbor know what it is?Helpful Reply

Chris on Dec 21, 2015That I believe is a varigated hydrangea start! It will flower under the correct conditions for hydrangeas. HHere are a couple of tricks to turn hydrangea flowers the color you want. To turn blue flowers pink, sprinkle 3 to 4 cups of lime around the base of the plant. Do this again several months later. To turn pink flowers blue, add 4 tablespoons of aluminum sulfate to a gallon of water, and drench around the base. Do this again three weeks later. The color change takes about a year in either case, so be patient.ere is a tip for color... Good luck!Helpful Reply

Lori Johnson on Dec 25, 2015It may be a hosta but if it leaves branch off a branch that resembles bamboo, it might be Devils BACKBONE. Which is a drought resistant plant of the succulent family. If it is this, if u break a piece off and a mildly substance comes out. That's it. It is bushy plant that can grow 4 ft in height. Does great in full sun or low sun. Easy to start from cuttings. Does good in Sandy soil about January it's ends turn a reddish pink and a little flower in the shape of a devils head appears.Helpful Reply

Martha on Dec 28, 2015It is a variegated hydrangea. I have one just like it. It does bloom but not the big full blooms you think of from a hydrangea. I grow mine for the beautiful foliage. It does best with some shade, needs watered some, will die back to the ground in winter. I live in Texas so I don't know if you will need to protect it in winter. It is beautiful and only gets about 2 to 3 ft. tall.Helpful Reply
