This is a mediterranean shrub and prefers a sunny, warm, well-drained site. The dramatic creamy margins on the rounded gray green leaves make this evergreen shrub especially welcome in the winter garden. The flowers come in a flush in early summer but the foliage is so attractive, you scarcely notice them. The later red fruits are very attractive before they age to black.
