This great shrub reaches a height of 2′ to 3’ feet and 6’ to 8’ wide. It has striking creamy-white irregular variegation along the margins of the green glossy leaves and masses of pale blue flowers in late spring. Great seasonal interest. Silver Surprise can be used in a patio container where it thrives in part shade or full sun. Looks great next to the house or in the perennial border. Leaves do not burn in sun.
