Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A pretty good plant despite the far to cute name, it's a bit reminiscent of Fernspray, it has been a high priced item the last few years, however, in all fairness it does elicit a lot of favorable comment in the garden.
DWARF. Leaves are rich green and fernlike. Mature height is 6' and can be sheared to keep compact and to maintain a formal appearance.
