Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This evergreen hybrid between two New Zealand natives adds a delicate touch to the California garden without being the slightest bit frail. A cross between Lophomyrtus bullata and L. obcordata, this upright shrub grows to 6 or 8' with an equal spread, and bears hundreds of small rounded leaves that shiver refreshingly in an afternoon or morning breeze. The individual leaves are marbled with shades of green, cream and pink and are highlighted in summer by small white flowers. Plant in fertile soils in full sun and provide moderate water. Hardy to 10F. New Zealand.
Lovely evergreen shrub from New Zealand, to 8-12 ft tall x 4-8 ft wide, the foliage rounded and puckered with creamy margins, turning to shades of maroon in winter. Small white flowers appear in summer. Best in bright light with good drainage and regular summer moisture. Frost hardy in upper USDA zone 8.
