Pearly Twirly™ Helwingia

Helwingia chinensis 'Djhs073'

SKU
09631
An intriguing upright evergreen shrub with finer texture than others of its species. Small white flowers sit like little bubbles along the midrib of the willowy leaves, appearing in spring, and occasionally again in fall. A charming accent for a shaded entry or woodland garden. Plant in groups for a textural backdrop or screen. A Monrovia exclusive.
