Shoebutton ardisia is a tall shrub or small tree that can reach heights of 20 ft. (6.1 m). The leathery leaves are 3-6 in. (7.6-15.2 cm) long, 1 in. (2.5 cm) wide, elliptical and entire. Most flowering occurs in the summer, but flowering can continue year-round. The flowers are small, pink, star-shaped and hang in clusters from the axils of the leaves. Shoebutton ardisia grows well in low, wet areas and in old fields. This species is shade-tolerant. Shoebutton ardisia is a native of Southeast Asia and was introduced into the United States as an ornamental in the late 1800s. |
