Andromeda polifolia - This species Bog Rosemary exhibits gray-green leathery ellipses which pick up a purplish to bronze-purple tone as colder temperatures march us towards winter. Leaf reverse is very white. Pink spring buds open to beautiful down turned white urns studding this slowly spreading shrub like pearls. Not the easiest evergreen candidate in the garden, ours has been very content in nearly full sun planted in fertile, acid soil. We irrigated this garden for years and held our breaths the first year we altered the water system here. But Andromeda polifolia did not flinch. Some winters there is some winter foliage burn. We prune this out. Lo and behold: leaves populate the exposed stems before you know it! The species hales from Northeast U.S. Northern Canada, Europe, Central / West Asia. Established starter shrub from cutting.
