Description: Snow Bush is a striking ornamental plant known for its mottled pink, white, and green leaves, which give it a snow-like appearance. It's popular in tropical and subtropical gardens for its vibrant foliage and its ability to add a splash of color to any landscape. This evergreen shrub is relatively easy to care for and can be used in mixed borders, as a foundation plant, or in container gardens. Because of harsh summers, we recommend you treat the snow bush as a houseplant in our region. 

Planting Tips:

• Plant in well-drained soil rich in organic matter.
• Space plants about 3-5 feet apart to allow for mature growth.
• Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
• Apply a balanced fertilizer during the growing season to support healthy foliage development.
• Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth.
