This selection has a petite habit with branched, woody stems. New foliage emerges coppery red with a gloss finish that matches the stems. The overall look of the foliage is dark green with burgundy veining. For most of the summer, this shrub can be admired for its attractive foliage, but starting in summer, glossy coppery red buds open to pure white flowers

Best grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Does well in loamy, clay soils with good drainage. Benefits from a slow release fertilizer. Overly fertile soils tend to produce lush foliage growth at the expense of flowering with somewhat increased susceptibility to winter injury. Water roots deeply, particularly in dry spells, but avoid wetting the foliage. (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Garden Plant Finder)
