Not so little and oh-so lovely, Little Pearl has charmingly flouncy flowers that shade from deep pink on the very outside to pure ice-white in the centre.

Blooms through the colder months, in large tubs, garden borders, or as informal evergreen hedging. Sansanqua type, so better for warmer humid gardens than the japonicas.
