Low growing form of the Japanese mock orange, about the size of P. t 'Wheeler's Dwarf' and about 3' high x 4' wide eventually. A very compact growth with leaves streaked cream, the lightest yellow, and green. Wonderful foundation planting or foreground to frame perennials. A plant frequently commented upon at the entrance of our nursery where it is it planted adjacent to variegated forms of Trachelospermum for a....variegation echo. Shy flowering. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8.
