Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Prettily variegated leaves, grey-green edged in creamy white and tinged with hot pink, are displayed on the arching reddish stems which form this dwarf mounding shrub; yellow summer flowers are somewhat outshone by the foliage! S/M

By: Forestfarm

A evergreen shrub in warm climates, dies back to the ground in zone 6, and sometimes dies completely in zone 5. Large yellow buttercup like flowers, lacking the long showy stamens many hypericum have. But flowers are sort of beside the point. Each leave is has a broad variegated edge that is bright pink on new growth and ages to white to produce the tricolor effect of the name. Zone 6
