Fast-growing evergreen shrub with an upright growth-habit to 4-6’ tall x 3-5’ wide. This free-blooming variety features attractive, aromatic, creamy-white margined green leaves, accented with a profusion of tubular purple flowers appearing on the branch tips in spring. Despite its lush-looking growth, this variety is relatively cold hardy, tolerating temperatures down to 20° F. Well-suited as an accent or colorful spring background. Requires a well-drained soil, moderate watering, and a sun to partial shade exposure.
