A dense, upright evergreen shrub with lustrous, grey-green streaked, bright apple-green leaves, with irregular, creamy-white margins. This variegated form of griselinia makes a marvellous semi-formal hedge or focal point for a sheltered, sunny, mixed or shrub border. Perfect for warm coastal gardens, try pairing it with the darker-leaved Choisya ternata (Mexican orange blossom), for a wonderful light-reflecting display.
