    I just bought a new plant because it was beautiful but it wasn't marked with a title and the sales clerk did not know what it was called. It was in full sun so I'm assuming it can take it.

    I spent all week here on Kauai trying to get the name of this same plant, so now that some people in the local coffee shop have identified it for me as "Hawaiian snowbush", I'll just add a bit here. For one thing, it has pink leaves (I did not get it coming up in a search for "pink leaves" and that seems like its most noticeable feature to me), so I'm making sure to include those words! The teeny flowers (under one-quarter inch diameter) in the second photo hang down under the leaves, which makes them even harder to notice. The person who told me the name pointed them out to me - I hadn't noticed them at all.

    Thank you so much. I had noticed the little flowers but not until about a month after I bought it. I just love this plant and all the colors it produces.
