Small evergreen shrub/ tiny tree with small oval deep green leaves with a cream edge and grey bark which grows paler with age. Blooms in spring-fall with delicate tiny star-shaped flowers in shades of pink or white depending on heat and light conditions. Suitable for bonsai and houseplant conditions.
This plant does not like dramatic temperature or moisture changes. Grows best if kept inside or in a winter-heated greenhouse. Do not allow it to dry completely.
If you are lucky enough to live in a temperate area with your nightly lows in the 50s and daily highs in the 70s, then this plant would be happy to grow for you outside with morning sun and afternoon shade. You would delight the bees in your neighborhood as they seem to love this shrub.
We grow this plant in our "Jurassic Park" greenhouse which is heated to 40° F during the winter.
