WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE: Leaves highly decorative, 12-18 cm long, obtuse, serrate, of white-green variegation. Flowers small, creamy white, delicately honey-scented, gathered in large, tight flattened corymbs, 25 cm across. Their most attractive feature are large (3-5 cm), white sepals of sterile flowers that form a ring around the inflorescence. As the bloom nears the end, the sepals obtain a greenish hue. Bloom from the end of June till July, starting in the 2nd- 3rd year after planting. Fruit in the shape of inconspicuous, dry, ribbed pods of no ornamental value.

HOW TO PLANT AND MAINTAIN: Before planting immerse the plant container in water for 10-30 min. Place the root ball in a 40 x 40 x 40 cm hole with a 10 cm layer of well-rotten manure or compost, 0.5-1 cm deeper than it was before. Fill the hole with fertile soil. The plant should be located at least 30 cm from walls or other plants. Does not require pruning but withstands the correction pruning.
