As a smaller growing spindle bush I am a small evergreen shrub with striking green foliage and light green new growth. I have a compact form with glossy, oval leaves. Growing faster than box I am an ideal choice for a low, compact hedge. I naturally have a very good and compact form so am great for a low hedge without ever being clipped. I also work well in topiary and formal hedges.
I perform well container grown to be appreciated in court yards, paved areas or in a traditional urn and other planters.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
I am ideal in borders, formal plantings and a good choice for pots and other containers
Tolerant of frost and dry conditions I am ideal for exposed locations
I have good natural form requiring minimal maintenance to keep me looking at my best

Height: 0.5m Width: 0.4m(Can be kept trimmed to Height: 0.3m Width: 0.2m)(Size at point of sale approx. 40cm including pot)

Tips for success
A light trim in spring and autumn is usually all that is required to maintain good shape
Plant at least 0.2m apart.
Choose a full sun to partly shaded position.
Water regularly while establishing, then check soil moisture before watering.
Choose whether you are planting in the garden or a pot to receive guidance built from this plant's light, water, habit and use information.
