Bushy, slow growing, evergreen shrub with small, glossy dark green leaves with variable, variegated creamy-white margins. In spring it produces panicles of tiny cool blue, fragrant flowers which are loved by bees and butterflies and moths. Makes a neat, compact, round headed plant which should be planted in full sun or partial shade in a container, a boarder or could be used as a dwarf hedge. Performs best in average, un-amended soil in full sun with regular summer water for the first season to establish and then none in subsequent years. Grows to 48″. Sun-part shade. Zones 7-9.
