Most of you will be angry with me, but most variegated plants are inefficient imperfections of the real deal. They would be low on my list of plants to have.

I found that my variegated bougainvilleas to be cold hardier than the regular ones. Many people love them more than the regular green ones. This is a good reason to have them if the main purpose is ornamental.

My variegated citruses although what most would say as beautiful foliage, they simply have very low fruit productions. So for fruit production, I am merciless when it comes to the bottom line. If it doesn't taste good and doesn't produce much, it is out of my yard unless my wife wanted them.
