Medium-sized compact evergreen shrub growing to 4-6’ tall and wide. While not as prolific a bloomer as others within its genus revealing its dainty violet-tinged white flowers primarily in spring this variety is greatly revered for its attractive variegated linear-shaped leaves that are a medium-green with lovely creamy-white margins. Though this relatively pest and disease free shrub is drought tolerant it performs best with a more regular watering schedule during spring and summer better retaining its color and density. Great medium-sized compact shrub for using in beds and borders and takes well to shearing to form a hedge or for a more formal appearance. Prefers a well drained soil. Full sun to partial shade.
