Drought tolerant and unappealing to deer!
Maroon flowers appear in spring.
Plant Patent #21,287. A splendid variegated selection of our native evergreen shrub, 'Pink Frost' sports creamy edged leaves held up and out on bushy, well-branched plants. In spring the new foliage is tinted pink instead of cream, and in the cold fall weather the entire leaf turns pink, right down to its deep red stem! Maroon spring flowers complete the appeal of this fragrant, fuss-free shade lover. Drought tolerant and unappetizing to deer. Zones 6-9.
