An exciting new cultivar combines some of the best traits of 'Little Gem' and 'Bracken's Brown Beauty'. Small dark green leaves with very brown undersides, remaining brown in winter (much better than 'Little Gem'). Flowers a little better than 'Bracken's Brown Beauty' but not as prolific as 'Little Gem'. Tight form intermediate in habit between Bracken's and Little Gem. Maturity: 30'+ gall. Zones 7-9.
