How to Grow:
Plant in any well-drained soil and give it a light trim in late spring or midsummer to keep growth neat, removing any plain green shoots as they appear to keep the variegation looking sharp — a genuinely low-maintenance shrub that holds its colour right through winter.

Please note: This plant is harmful if eaten, so handle with care and wear gloves when pruning.
