White kopsia is a small, broad-leaved evergreen with leaves that turn red, not with winter, but as they age. It is an attractive ornamental for gardens and walkways, and is popular in its native range. Its flowers are gorgeous but a little disappointing, with the look of star jasmine flowers but no scent. It produces fleshy fruits that provide a food source for birds and small mammals, which it relies on to scatter its seeds.

Shrub vinca is cultivated for its attractive flowers and ability to bloom almost year-round. It cannot, however, tolerate cold temperatures at all.
