A shrub that refuses to blend in, Rainbow Drooping Fetterbush is a showstopper in every season. Arching branches drip with lance-shaped leaves, each painted in a swirling blend of cream, pink, red, and green that shifts with the seasons. Spring welcomes delicate, bell-shaped white flowers, cascading like tiny lanterns from the branches, while fall intensifies the foliage with deep burgundy and scarlet hues. Deer-resistant, shade-loving, and adaptable, this evergreen shrub thrives where others struggle, bringing year-round texture and dynamic color to woodland gardens, shaded borders, and foundation plantings.
