Description
A slow growing, evergreen shrub with soft, shiny, dark green, needle like foliage. Best planted in mass to function as a dense sheared hedge or tall screen. Takes to shearing well and is often utilized for topiaries. Potted plants are often grown indoors in brightly lit rooms, such as an office. Plant directly into the ground in USDA zones 7-9, otherwise, either grow in a container and move to a sunny, frost free location to overwinter, or simply replace it the following spring with a whole new plant.
