    Rhamnus alaternus 'Argenteovariegata' ('Variegata') is a mediterranean shrub and prefers a sunny, warm, well-drained site.  The dramatic creamy margins on the rounded, grayish evergreen leaves make it 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.
