Compact evergreen shrub growing to 3-4’ tall x 4-5’ wide. While not as prolific a bloomer as others within its genus revealing its dainty white flowers only in spring this unique variety is greatly revered for its attractive variegated linear-shaped leaves that are a pale 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 compact shrub for using in beds and borders and takes well to shearing to form a small hedge or for a more formal appearance. Prefers a well drained soil. Full sun to partial shade.
