Help Identifiying this plant.

I bought this plant at loblaws on Thursday and I'm having a little bit of difficulty of finding out the name of it. So I am wondering if anyone might know the name of it.

From the photo it looks like a cross between a variegated pachysandra and Italian parsley. Does it have a fragrance if you rub the leaves? If so it might be a scented geranium, although geraniums usually have fuzzy leaves. Let us know if you find out what it is. It's quite pretty. Does it say any thing on the pot/label? If it was in the "shade plant" section, it might indeed be a pachysandra.

It does not have a smell to it. But I do see what you mean by the italian parsley look. On the ticket that it came with it says to place in filtered sun or partical shade. Here are some other pictures of it.

Well, the full to partial shade thing reinforces the pachysandra theory. But it is too vertical looking to be a ground cover. Hmm, tis a mystery. Now it's going to bother me till we figure it out.

We ended up going to Vandmeer nursery with the plant and the lady there identified it as a White variegated aralia (Polyscia guilfoylei victoriae).

Mystery sloved

Cool! Glad the mystery is solved. Now I'll have to go look it up.
