This looks to be a variegated form of spirea thunbergii, with willow like variegated leaves, these came to us from fanatic variegate collector Al Wojcik.

Fine feathery foliage with green and white variegation. Spectacular white flowers in April on previous seasons growth before the wispy willow-like leaves appear. Some of the leaves are twisted and curled for additional interest to the variegated Spiraea. Yellow-orange fall color on leaves that hold til late Fall. Open airy growth habit. An absolute treasure. Drought tolerant; requires pruning to maintain neat appearance.
