EmmyC, your plant is Caryopteris divaricata 'Snow Fairy' http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/68422/ A wonderful perennial that holds its variegation all through the summer and has tiny blue flowers in late summer/fall. It grows equally well in either full sun or full shade without any change in the variegation. It will grow to about 3' tall. Pruning will promote a fuller plant with more flowers. It also performs well in containers (photo below of 'Snow Fairy' - from 2005 and still growing in the same container) I have several growing in our gardens and they are absolutely gorgeous right now - I'll try to get a picture to post.
