Ericaceae genus native to southern USA and South America. Flowering at West Lynn Garden over recent weeks, this little shrub goes mostly unnoticed until the flowers appear.
Very much like its cousin, Pieris, the flowers are creamy/white and hang from each small branch amongst variegated foliage.
Grows to less than a metre high and looks great massed under other acid loving plants like Azaleas and Rhododendrons.
The leaves of this variety can be a mixture of cream, green touches with pink.
