Your neighbors will be green with envy when they see ‘Emerald Envy’ growing in your garden. Glossy green leaves, fluffy white flowers in the spring and deep maroon leaves in the fall! The flower buds are small and fuzzy. Pollinators will cover this plant when in bloom but the real star of this plant is the foliage! The glossy leaves shine in the sunlight and in the fall, the leaves give you another show of color.
‘Emerald Envy’ is the ideal plant breaking up the monotony of all green plants because the leaves are so shiny! You can use it as windbreak, a screen, a hedge, a focal point or even in a large container for the patio. It is also shade tolerant for those smaller landscapes where sunlight may be lacking. This plant is deciduous, so after the leaves turn maroon in the fall, the leaves off exposing the berries.
