Default Re: Seattle area coolness?

Cool temps and wet soil can also cause what looks like variegation in the leaves. Sometimes I think when soil temps drop that the roots don't take up nutrients like they should and that can cause a variegated look. I've noticed this in the spring with both bananas and cannas but when the weather warms, the leaves start appearing normal again.
