    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Petite little shrub, eventually to 3-4 ft though can be kept much smaller, with evergreen, 1/3” leaves streaked pink and white. Wonderful small garden specimen or container knitter. Frost hardy into the upper teens briefly – upper USDA zone 8. Otherwise easy to grow in full sun to partial shade with some summer water. Avoid heavy fertilizing. Good addition to flower arrangements.
