An evergreen shrub to 4' tall and as wide, bearing sparkling silver-white foliage and delicate blossoms from May to September. The pink-tinged white flowers open from pink buds to reveal yellow throats. Prune annually to renew the plant and prevent legginess. In our experience this is a short-lived shrub. Southern Europe.
