Features
Bold, colorful evergreen.
Enjoy bright, vivid color every day of the year with Wax Wings™ Gold mirror bush. Foliage is glossy in the extreme, and each leaf is splashed with emerald green, bright gold, and in cool weather, a perky red edge that gives a glowing effect. It's an ideal plant for a low hedge, edging, or mixed with other plants in a colorful flower garden. This very heat tolerant shrub cannot survive winters in areas colder than USDA zone 9, but not to worry: it can be brought indoors for winter and enjoyed as a colorful houseplant in cold climates.
