Naturally rounded and dwarf-sized
Deep green, fern-like foliage
Thrives in shade
Looks great year-round
Uses:
Great for low hedges, edging, containers, or as a standout specimen. That neat, rounded shape fits just about anywhere.
Care tips:
No need for regular pruning—its tidy habit keeps things low-maintenance. You can selectively trim branches if needed. Just a heads up: it's not deer resistant, so it might not be the best choice in areas with heavy deer traffic.
