Winter Splash Variegated Wintergreen

Add a splash of color to your understory with the first ever variegated wintergreen! Variegation comes in many forms but we really swoon for the forms that have touches of  purples and pinks in the leaves. Winter Splash still produces the tasty and unique wintergreen berries in great profusion but with the backdrop of variegated leaves, each one a miniature masterpiece. A great addition for shady spots but will turn a more purplish pink color in sunnier conditions.
