Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Spectacular living sculpture of a plant! Low arching branches in a herringbone pattern are decorated in variegated leaves that are cream, green and rose shades. Try in a pot on a pedestal where the cascading form can really show off! I prefer to use this as a specimen…but it also would make an exquisite ground cover. About 12″ tall and 4′ wide. Easy to grow. An exceptionally fine cultivar — limited supply.

A variegated dwarf sport found near Spokane in the town of Cheney. The small leaves are ranked along the herringbone twigs which are colored in white and pink early on and fading later in the season to a white margin. The leaves take on yellow to red tones in fall before dropping. Slow growing and good for the rock garden. To 3' wide in 10 years.
