Beautiful Green all Winter

From Missouri

It is fascinating to see the leaves freeze in the winter and come back as soon as they thaw out. The cold will not kill the leaves. The blooms and berries are not what is causing me to want more, it is the lush green leaves in the dead of winter.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
