Type: Evergreen Shrub,
Exposure: Full Sun
Water: Regular to Drought Tolerant

The foliage on this compact tree heath seems almost luminous. Ranging from a medium lime green through chartreuse to gold on the branch tips, it glows even on a cloudy day (the middle and bottom picture were taken under heavy overcast.) Tiny white blooms cover the plant in spring, and are honey-scented. This cultivar will grow as large as 6ft (1.8m) high and 3ft (90cm) wide. It makes a great container plant.

Cheers,

John
