Lovely pink tint foliage in early spring to vibrant lustrous green and to deep purple as the days of winter come covers this ornamental evergreen. With contrast of crimson stems against amazing glossy foliage and with summer comes abundance of ½" long ivory white tubular fragrant flowers, each blossoms from a base of pink leaves on densely branched rounded shrub. Attracts butterflies, bees and hummingbirds. Perfect selection for focal point, low hedge, mass plantings, container, foundation, small to large groupings on slopes, beds, specimen, and mixed borders.
