Zn 9. Tiny bright green leaves with white edges.

By: Little Prince of Oregon

Because of the handsome horizontal growth of its long slender stems, and the exceptionally elegant variegation of its small lustrous leaves, this New Zealand native is a first-rate evergreen ground cover. Small, neatly cream-margined gray-green leaves display attractive, translucent white berries preceded by inconspicuous flowers. Its low-lying branches provide a deft transition between upright shrubs such as Rosmarinus 'Herb Cottage' or Cistus 'Bennett's White'. 'Variegata' willingly accepts a wide range of soils, can handle wind and salt spray, and promises a dense handsome form if pruned regularly.
