Description

New to us, Halesia monticola 'Variegata' is an unusual large shrub or eventually small tree with an attractive cream-gold margin to the leaves. Once established it has masses of pretty white flowers in early summer.

Ideal for a position in full sun or light, dappled shade, Halesia monticola 'Variegata' is fairly slow growing for a Snowdrop tree with a tendency to grow with a multi-stemmed habit.
