Nursery contributed plant descriptions

With stunning butter-yellow-edged leaves that just glow in the sunlight on this already incredible tree. Late spring-into-early summer finds this beauty draped with the showy and unusual 'handkerchief' flowers (bracts) that are the glory of the dove tree. This cultivar is wonderfully different and makes a fine specimen tree. Fairly slow-growing to 20-40' and well worth the wait! S-PSh/M

This stunning foliage plant has green centers to the leaves with creamy yellow broad margins. We find the plant grows best in filtered shade all day. We haven't seen bracts yet but the foliage is beautiful so who cares?
