Description

Compact evergreen bush with small leaves. It is perfect for use as a low hedge or as an interesting alternative to boxwood as it grows quite quickly. Therefore, it requires regular pruning. It also looks beautiful as ground cover if you let it grow freely with its lovely arching branches.
