Has very broad cream centered leaves. A good plant to lighten up the shade garden (even deep shade).

Given to us by Atlanta plantsman, Ozzie Johnson, and named for, well, Lisa, with 4-5'" narrow, speckled leaves on a compact shrub, a great addition to a shady garden with very pale fruit from autumn through winter on this female plant. Evergreen. Hardy to USDA zone 7, if not 6. Shade to dappled sun. Extra summer water to push new growth in dry climates.
