Jamaican Caper (Quadrella jamaicensis)
Grows in full to part sun.
Low to average water needs.
Size: 6-12 ft tall X 6-10ft wide
Bloom Time: Spring
This is a fun shrub due to its unique white blooms that rapidly turn pink after opening. It can be used as a specimen plant or hedge. The leaves are almost waxy, with a brown underside. As a plant native to coastal areas, this shrub has great hurricane wind resistance. It can tolerate temperatures down to 28 degrees. It is a relative to the edible caper, but this particular plant is not edible.
