DICHROA febrifuga. Southern China and Nepal. An evergreen shrub allied to and resembling Hydrangea. It is bushy in habit and grows 4-6’ tall. The stems are lined with dark green, rather deeply veined leaves, 4-8" long. In late summer and fall, it carries dense clusters of small blue flowers at the shoot tips. These are followed by metallic blue berries. A pleasant shrub for the same spots where one might plant a hydrangea—shady nooks and foundations. It will probably thrive in full sun near the coast, but this is not well tested. Reasonably well drained soil, regular watering. Probably hardy to 10^oF or less.
