Fetterbush
Agarista populifolia
Florida Hobblebush adds a note of evergreen drama to the garden with its fountain-like habit and its leaves that emerge red, grow to a light green, and mature to a deep, dark emerald. Creamy white, bell-shaped flowers emerge in early summer. A great understory plant that is easy cultivate.
