Prelude

Prelude is a compact, refined evergreen shrub that delivers early-season beauty in a smaller footprint. In late winter to early spring, abundant clusters of creamy white, bell-shaped flowers cascade gracefully over deep green foliage — bringing welcome color when little else is blooming. Its tidy, mounded habit typically reaches just 2–3 feet tall and wide, making ‘Prelude’ ideal for foundation plantings, shaded borders, and mass plantings where a lower-growing evergreen is needed. Hardy in Zones 5–8, it thrives in partial shade and well-drained, acidic soil. Deer resistant and low maintenance, ‘Prelude’ offers year-round structure and dependable spring interest in both residential and commercial landscapes.
