This little shrub has a delicious fragrance in winter when you need it most. The leaves on this one are variegated and although it adds to it's charm, I wonder if in this case it might be a hindrance to good growth. This shrub is not sturdy by any means, at least in the piedmont south. If it had more green it might grow better but as you can see much of the shrub is just stems. This is exactly what happened to the one I grew. It struggled on for a couple years and then succumbed. Enjoy it while you may, I say.
I found this on the Rhododendron Trail near the Butterfly House at Calloway.
