Leaves that do not have a uniform colour are called variegated leaves.
Variegated
Yes, pigments in variegated leaves are photosynthetic as they contain chlorophyll, the primary pigment responsible for capturing sunlight to produce energy through photosynthesis. However, variegated leaves may have different patterns of pigmentation such as white or yellow areas which may affect the overall photosynthetic efficiency of the leaf.
Because variegated ivy leaves have less chlorophyll, the plant produces less energy for growth. This means variegated ivy plants grow much slower than their all green cousins. Because they grow slower, they need much less food in the soil.

Variegated leaves have less chlorophyll due to the areas of tissue lacking pigmentation, so they are less efficient in photosynthesis compared to non-variegated leaves. This results in lower food production and accumulation in variegated leaves.

To identify a variegated leaf plant, look for leaves that have different colors or patterns, such as stripes or spots. These plants often have a mix of green, white, yellow, or pink on their leaves. You can also check the plant's label or do some research online to see if it is known for having variegated leaves.
Starch test on variegated leaves may show varying levels of starch accumulation in different parts of the leaves. Green parts of the variegated leaves that contain chlorophyll will likely test positive for starch as they can photosynthesize, while white or yellow parts that lack chlorophyll may test negative or have lower levels of starch. This difference in starch accumulation can indicate the distribution of photosynthetic activity in the variegated leaves.

To identify variegated shrubs in your garden, look for plants with leaves that have multiple colors or patterns, such as stripes or spots. These shrubs often have a mix of green, white, or other colors on their leaves. You can also check plant tags or labels for the term "variegated" when purchasing shrubs for your garden.
The type of plant that has white edges on its leaves is called a variegated plant.
