    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    The brilliant bright-red new growth of this unique Japanese selection adds yet another beguiling attribute to an already handsome compact 10" tall by 3-10' wide glossy evergreen groundcover (tips will root as they touch the soil and it can creep along where it is happy). If planted with a support, it will climb a small trellis. The highly fragrant creamy-white summer flowers are such a treat; make sure to plant this where you can enjoy their fragrance! S-PSh/M
