Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The variegated foliage is soft green with a cream border. The plant will only get to 4-5' tall. This small mock orange will have sparse, but wonderfully fragrant white flowers.
This is another of the fantastically variegated new plants we have been madly working to propagate and finally have enough to list; very broad snow-white emargined leaves. Who cares about the fragrant white flowers?
