Little Flames bursts onto the scene in spring with a dazzling display of shiny red leaves, soon followed by graceful clusters of small, fragrant white flowers. As summer arrives, the leaves transition to a lush green, but when fall’s chill sets in, they ignite into vibrant shades of red and burgundy that shine throughout the winter. This compact, spreading evergreen offers year-round color and texture, making it ideal for small spaces or as a striking mass planting. Plus, it thrives effortlessly in shadier locations!
