The striking 'Never-Never' plant (ctenanthe oppenheimiana – Thai คล้านางพญา) is a tropical perennial. It has green, white and blood red variegated leaves, ensuring it stands out amongst other plants, and making it a good choice for ground cover, and an overall excellent foliage plant; particularly within light coloured rock and pebble gardens and shaded areas.
The never-never cannot stand full sun, prefering shaded and partially shaded regions of the garden, and consequently are suited for indoor growth, but they always require constantly moist soil.
