An excellent landscape choice. 'Variegata' is noted for its handsome variegated foliage and pink flowers. Emerging in the spring, narrowly ovate, mid-green leaves line the gracefully arching branches. The are adorned with creamy-white edges which gradually mature to soft pale yellow. In early summer, the shrub is covered with clusters of soft rose-pink buds which open to funnel-shaped, light pink flowers. Hummingbirds find the flowers irresistible! The flowers and foliage hold up well when cut to put in a vase by itself or with other flowers.
