    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Creamy white flowers on slender racemes and shiny heart shaped leaves that are often used in Christmas decorations. The leathery leaves sit on long petioles and make a wonderful groundcover for under Rhododendrons; this can form large colonies rather quickly under the right conditions, but needs a shady acid site, foliage is much like Shortia, its much easier to please but not as elegant. Note that the woodlanders marked with an * ship either early to mid march or summer dormant.
