A compact evergreen shrub that dazzles with its variegated foliage, each rounded leaf edged in creamy white with a fresh green centre, creating year-round luminosity in borders and containers. From summer through autumn, delicate lavender flower spikes emerge above the foliage, attracting pollinators while complementing the shrub's cool colour palette. The dense, mounding habit forms a naturally neat shape that requires minimal pruning, making it ideal for low-maintenance gardens or urban spaces. Unlike plain green varieties, its bright foliage retains colour through winter months, providing vital garden interest when other plants fade. Exceptionally hardy, it thrives in coastal conditions and resists salt spray better than many variegated shrubs. Perfect for adding light to shaded corners, edging pathways or creating contrast in mixed plantings, this versatile performer combines ornamental appeal with remarkable resilience.
