Description
The handsome and scarce variegated form of the Portuguese Laurel has bright, creamy white emargined foliage borne on colorful red twigs, and stems rising to 8 ft. over a long period of time, though surprisingly vigorous. For full sun or partial shade in nearly any soil, this is a remarkably adaptable shrub certainly deserving of more use.
