Breynia disticha 'Roseo-picta' Breynia disticha 'Roseo-picta'
(Snow bush) Be the first to rate this plant
Hardiness Zones: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

The white- and pink-mottled leaves of 'Roseo-picta' make it appear as if the plant has been snowed upon, even though it is a tropical plant. It is an evergreen shrub growing to 3 feet or more with pink and red stems in zigzagged formation. Native to Pacific islands, it is grown as an indoor plant or perennial, or as an annual in cooler climates. The tiny flowers go generally unnoticed. Do not allow the soil to dry out, as leaf drop will occur.
Loropetalum chinense f. rubrum 'Carolina Midnight' Loropetalum chinense f. rubrum 'Carolina Midnight'
('Carolina Midnight' loropetalum) Be the first to rate this plant
Hardiness Zones: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

With some of the darkest foliage you'll encounter in the genus Loropetalum, 'Carolina Midnight' is a great new introduction that will add some purple punch to the garden. The flowers are like dark fuchsia fireworks in a sky of purple. It is a great substitue for purple smoke bush (Cotinus coggygria) in the South.
