Glossy green leaves edged with creamy white variegation create a luminous presence in borders, the crisp contrast remaining vibrant throughout all seasons. The wavy-edged foliage forms dense, bushy mounds that provide year round structure while brightening shady corners with their reflective surfaces. Tiny purple-black flowers appear along the stems in late spring, releasing a sweet honey fragrance most noticeable during warm evenings. More striking in its variegation than plain green varieties, it brings light to planting schemes without overwhelming neighbouring plants. Resilient to coastal winds and urban pollution, it thrives in sun or partial shade while tolerating most well-drained soils. Perfect for adding elegant contrast to mixed borders or formal hedges, the variegated leaves combine beautifully with dark foliaged plants or vibrant flowering perennials. A sophisticated choice for illuminating woodland edges or contemporary gardens where its year round foliage can be properly appreciated.
