Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Very similar to but even smaller than Abigail Rose. In spring, the tiny variegated leaves emerge in a colorful display of rose, pink, and orange, becoming pink and cream, then light creamy green with green veins for the summer. Fall colors are yellow, orange, and pink-red.
