Nursery contributed plant descriptions

These seedlings -- true to type from an 18”, evergreen perennial, the narrow leaves streaked with light cream ridges -- behave much like other members of the species, providing interest in the deepest darkest corners of the garden where nothing but Aucuba might survive. Small clusters of pale lavender to white flowers give way to impressive clusters of orange-red berries in autumn. Summer moisture speeds growth. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6.
