The foot-wide leaves of Farfugium japonicum 'Cristata' are succulent yet lightly woolly on the underside. Their frilled margins join where they meet at the petiole giving the cupped leaves a "crested" look. The young leaves are mid-green and semi-glossy with fine hairs especially along the prominent veining. The leaves darken as they age. Surprising yellow daisy flowers late in the season.
