They have two forms exist: one is white flowering green leafed variety and the other is pink-flowering variety with red leaves varying which can change the color from bronze-red when new to olive-green or burgundy when mature, depending on selection and growing conditions.
Many varieties have deep purple or burgundy leaves, a unique trait not typically seen in evergreen shrubs. Another attractive feature is its layered branching habit.
