Paisley Pup is a shrub chosen for its pattern and quiet reliability.
It’s native to the U.S. and valued for its beautifully variegated evergreen foliage, with creamy white margins tracing deep green leaves in a pattern that feels intentional rather than busy. Paisley Pup’s new growth often emerges with soft pink tones, adding subtle seasonal interest.
Naturally compact and deer resistant, Paisley Pup native doghobble brings structure to shade gardens, woodland edges, and foundation plantings where flowers aren’t the point. Its gently arching habit softens hard lines while still holding its shape, making it both practical and refined.
If you appreciate shrubs that carry the garden through every season—with less worry—this one earns its place quietly.
