Prunus lusitanica 'Variegata'
Prunus 'Variegata' is a handsome evergreen shrub with glossy green leaves edged in creamy white, beautifully contrasted by striking red stems. Its dense, compact habit provides year-round structure and makes it an excellent choice for bringing brightness to hedges, borders and screening.
In early summer, upright clusters of fragrant white flowers appear above the foliage, attracting bees and other pollinating insects. These are followed by small red fruits that mature to dark purple-black, adding further seasonal interest and providing value for wildlife.
Hardy, versatile and easy to maintain, 'Variegata' performs well in full sun or partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. It responds particularly well to clipping, making it suitable for formal hedging and shaped specimens, while its naturally attractive habit also works well when left to grow more freely.
