This fast-growing deciduous shrub features a mounded habit and reaches heights of 4 to 5 feet. Its most striking feature is the stable, variegated foliage, which displays deep green centers with wide, creamy-yellow margins that resist scorching even in intense heat. From mid-summer through fall, it produces fragrant, lavender-purple flower spikes that act as a magnet for butterflies and hummingbirds. Ideal for mixed borders, containers, or pollinator gardens, it thrives in well-drained soil and full sun.
