Smooth textured leaves and an abundance of color are the hallmarks of the Variegated Privet.
Unlike the more common types of this plant that have a distinct gray color, this shrub offers more green and cream white coloration in its foliage.
The white coloring of the leaves are matched by white flowers in mid-summer when the Privet blooms.
These blossoms are followed by blue-black fruits that grow in late summer.
This Privet will need occasional pruning, and gardeners should do so in summer.
The Variegated Chinese Privet is best used as a specimen plant or as part of a hedge, though the richness of color makes it a solid addition to most gardens.
