The forest is a land with many personas. Longfellow´s "Forest Primeval" and Shakespeare´s allusion to "Diana´s foresters, gentlemen of the shade, minions of the moon", suggest an ancient, even eerie setting. If such is the case, ´Gentsch White´ well be considered as out of place. This slow growing broad shrub has dainty, white-tipped foliage. ´Gentch White´ may be thought of as an elfin light, providing a cozy comfortable bit of light and color in this rather dark and foreboding scene. ´Gentch White´, with its size and color, is a perfect choice for the small and medium size shaded garden area.
