    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A spreading shrub or bush that may be pruned into a small tree. Large dark green leaves, purple underneath give a beautiful backdrop to mounds of pink and white flowering balls 6-10 inches across from which the florets explode like fireworks, creating a most spectacular show during the winter. A tropical plant thriving on sun and heat.
