Positive Todd_Boland On Feb 5, 2005, Todd_Boland from St. John's, NL (Zone 5b) wrote:

An attractive shrub for its foliage alone. The leaves are irregularly streaked with yellow or cream, rather than the white-edged effect so common in most variegated plants. The flowers are light blue with a violet tint and are semi-double.
