Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A 'variation' on a classic -- Beauty Berry with 4" long lance-shaped VARIEGATED leaves -- soft green with creamy variegation and downy beneath. Small purplish-rose in clusters to 1" wide in summer are followed by the classic round, soft violet-purple berries in Fall. This Native of South Korea and Japan dies back to the ground in Zone 7 but quickly regrows in the Spring. The fabulous foliage combined with the purple fruit is spectacular.
