An elegant old garden shrub, as much admired for its beautifully variegated foliage as for its generous display of flowers. The softly arching branches carry fresh green leaves delicately edged in creamy yellow, providing a lovely contrast to the clusters of pale rose-pink, trumpet-shaped flowers which appear in abundance from late spring into early summer. The foliage remains attractive throughout the growing season, bringing light and interest to mixed shrub borders even after the flowers have finished. Forming a graceful, rounded deciduous shrub some 1.2–2 metres tall and as much across, it is particularly effective amongst darker-leaved plants. Easily grown in full sun or light shade in reasonably fertile, well-drained soil, with some moisture during dry periods. Very hardy to frost and requiring little attention beyond the occasional removal of older stems after flowering to encourage vigorous new growth
