‘Paisley Pup’ is a compact evergreen shrub grown primarily for its colorful, variegated foliage rather than showy flowers. Its leaves emerge with attractive shades of pink, cream, and green before developing deeper coloration into a deep red as they mature, providing interest into the winter. Small white flowers may appear in spring, but the foliage remains the main feature. This woodland-type shrub prefers moist, acidic, well-drained soil and protection from intense afternoon sun. Its compact size makes it particularly useful in shaded borders, woodland gardens, and beneath larger shrubs.
Height: 1–2 ft
Width: 2–3 ft
Flower time: April–May
Sun/Shade: Part shade to full shade
Deer resistant
Rabbit resistant
