Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A very pretty and quite unusual evergreen shrub with small, leathery, dark-green leaves. Exquisite, tiny, balloon-shaped flowers of pure-white mature into large clusters of incredibly unique purple-red, edible berries that almost look inflated. The autumn into winter berries are edible, but not exactly incredible. This interesting hybrid of Gaultheria shallon and Pernettya mucronata creates a 3x 3' shrub which is exceptional as a border or as a small hedge for the edible landscape. S-Sh/M
