Well, the whole sentence is - Compré aromáticas en un vivero orgánico, un tomillo variegado que nunca había visto, una salvia llamada salvia rosa, muy linda y con aroma a menta, frambuesa, cebollín, etc. Couldn't find 'variegado' in the dictionary...

Surprisingly, it means what "variegated" means in English.

it means that it has different colours or tones. Not just a uniform tone
Variegation is the appearance of differently coloured zones in the leaves, and sometimes the stems, of plants. This may be due to a number of causes. Some variegation is attractive and ornamental and gardeners tend to preserve these. The term is also sometimes used to refer to colour zonation in flowers and minerals. (Wikipedia)
