Will it come back variegated after it has been cut back? - Of course. The genetic
make-up of a plant does not change, just because it has been cut back.

Will the pups also be variegated? - Most likely, since they are sprouting from the same
corm.

Is it a basjoo with all the species' hardiness? No idea! It does have the pinkish
midriff though.

If I had one I would wait until there are a bunch of pups and then start experimenting.
But at >$300.- don't hold your breath to see me buy one, especially, if there is a real
chance, that it is a hoax.
