Fetterbush
Lyonia lucida
Fetterbush thrives in part shade with consistently moist, acidic soil, making it ideal for woodland garden settings in warm climates. It produces attractive clusters of pink to white flowers in spring and maintains glossy evergreen foliage year-round. Avoid planting in dry or alkaline soils, and mulch generously to retain moisture.
