ARDISIA

From the Myrsinaceae Family, this variegated Ardisia (common name: Coralberry, Marlberry) is a rather new introduction.

The variegation appears to be very stable and with the reddish leaf petioles and pinkish berries, this small shrub or tree is a sight to behold on its own. I have never planted it in mass but I can imagine how it would look like.
