This specimen evergreen shrub produces white new growth, which is especially obvious early in the season. When we bought it, I thought it was a dwarf variety, but internet research suggested otherwise, and four years later it's obvious that this one wants to grow tall. I may have to relocate it, since it's starting to outgrow its present space.
