Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Has been around for decades and is still a very pretty plant. The smallish evergreen leaves are 1 ½” x 1 ½” have purple new growth changing to deep green the rest of the year. The medium pink flowers will cover the plant in April.

Dark pink buds open a light pink against a backdrop of small, jade-green leaves. New growth is a treat in itself as they are a shiny copper. Has been in production since 1935. A test of time.
