Quick Guide
- Evergreen shrub with creamy-margined foliage
- Purple flower spikes, summer through autumn
- Drought tolerant and low maintenance
- Prefers full sun and well-drained soil
- Perfect for coastal gardens and containers
This versatile evergreen shrub features distinctive grey-green leaves with creamy-white margins, providing year-round ornamental value. Young growth and foliage in cold weather display attractive pink tinting, adding seasonal interest to borders and containers.
Long spikes of bright purple flowers emerge from midsummer and continue flowering through autumn, creating a striking contrast with the variegated foliage. Extremely tolerant and low-maintenance, it thrives in full sun or partial shade and is particularly valuable in coastal locations where it resists salt spray.
Establish in well-drained soil and water regularly during the first growing season. Once established, it is remarkably drought-tolerant and requires minimal pruning or feeding, making it ideal for low-maintenance gardens and contemporary designs.
Plant Guide
Plant in full sun or light shade in well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soil; shelter from harsh winter winds in cold areas. Water regularly during establishment and in dry spells. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Prune straggly growth in late spring if needed. In severe winters, provide protection or grow in a container and move under shelter. Once established, requires minimal attention and benefits from occasional deadheading to extend the flowering season.

Third-Party Couriers
For London postcodes outside a 5-mile radius of our Kentish Town garden centre, we may occasionally use a third-party courier for delivery. In these cases, we try our best to still deliver the items in the requested delivery time slot but please be aware that occasionally this may not always be possible and is out of our control.
Delivery Discrepancies
Please check your order as soon as it arrives. If there is any discrepancy — such as a missing, incorrect, or damaged item — please contact us within 48 hours of delivery so we can put things right. After this time, we will assume the order was received complete and in good condition. We are unable to take responsibility for damage that has occurred after this period.
Click & Collect
We encourage you to collect from our garden centre in Kentish Town — it saves on delivery costs and gives you the chance to see our full range of plants and products in person.
All Click & Collect orders must be collected within 7 days of being ready, unless a later date has been arranged with us in advance. If an order is not collected within this time, it will be cancelled and a refund issued.
Returns Policy
If you need to return an item, please contact us within 14 days of receipt to arrange a return or exchange. Products must be in their original condition and packaging. Plants may be non-refundable unless they arrive damaged or defective.
Items bought in-store or collected can be returned directly at the garden centre. If you would like us to collect a return and it is in good condition (e.g. you have changed your mind), it must be in its original condition, and the same delivery cost will apply for the return.
Plants marked as reduced for end-of-season clearance are non-refundable, as they are sold specifically to clear stock. This does not apply to special offers or multibuy promotions, which are eligible for returns as per our standard terms.
