For foliage, this is a winner! New growth emerges covered with white indumentum. Later the indumentum darkens to a bright cinnamon red on the underside of the leaf and the top of the leaf is a dark fir green. The flowers are attractive pure white in compact, full trusses. Good plant habit makes this a plant you will enjoy all year.
