The leaves feature attractive blue-green to green centres surrounded by broad creamy-yellow to pale margins, creating a bold and elegant appearance. The foliage has a slightly cupped form, giving the plant additional texture and making it particularly effective as a specimen or focal point within a shaded border. ‘Brim Cup’ forms a neat, mounding clump and is an excellent choice for bringing colour and structure to areas of the garden where many flowering plants may struggle.
