| Description | In early spring abundant buds burst open, smothering this evergreen shrub with pure white, bell-shaped blooms. The upright spikes of showy buds are set in fall, often taking on a red hue, standing out against shiny foliage through winter. The compact, rounded form creates an excellent accent, massed planting or clipped hedge. |
