Fetterbush (Lyonia lucida)
I bloom best in the sun, but will tolerate some shade.
I have low to average water needs.
Size: 2-6ft tall x 4 ft wide
Bloom Time: Late Winter and Spring
Price: $13.99 (3 gal)
This brightly colored native shrub produces lovely bell-shaped pink blooms in the spring. It likes moist but well drained soil, but it can tolerate periods of drought. The new growth is a light reddish colored, and as it ages, the leaves turn a shiny bright green. The flowers are a favorite of bees and the dark berries are eaten by wildlife.
