Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Dwarf and evergreen, hydrangea relative, adorned with clusters of sky-blue flowers in late summer followed by metallic turquoise berries that linger through winter. This selection stays under 2 ft tall and slightly wider, perfect for the small garden. Best in part sun with adequate water and happy in a container as well. Frost hardiness to 10 °F, USDA Zone 8, is enhanced by planting in a protected spot, out of wind and perhaps with overhead protection.
