Myrcianthes fragrans ‘Stopper Morph’
Simpson Stopper 'Stopper Morph' is a striking variegated lower-growing cultivar that features dramatic foliage coloration. The new growth emerges in shades of white and pink before gradually maturing to green, creating a beautiful tri-colored effect throughout the growing season. This evergreen shrub requires full sun and occasional trimming to maintain its vibrant variegation. It has fragrant white flowers that attract pollinators and berries for birds. It can be used as either a specimen shrub, pruned into a small tree form, or kept low, making it an excellent ornamental choice for South Florida landscapes in zones 9-11.
