Description
This very slow growing dwarf begins its life as an irregular mound, which, over time, will develop into a small, braod, upright form. Pink new grow tips add to the color show followed by curvy, creamy-white, variegated foliage to produce a delightful character in the garden. Excellent for containers and rock gardens, it will benefit from well-drained soil and partial afternoon shade.
