‘Nocturne’ is a compact form that typically matures in a spreading mound to only 1-2’ tall. It features generally upright clusters (racemes) of lily-of-the-valley-like white flowers in early spring. Serrulate, oblanceolate to obovate-oblong leaves (to 2” long) emerge orange-bronze but mature to glossy dark green. Leaves are evergreen. Bead-like flower buds are set in late summer for the following year and provide winter interest and contrast to the evergreen foliage. Synonymous with and sometimes sold as Andromeda japonica ‘Nocturne’.
