Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Purchased years ago as Wall Germander, which was incorrect; we've finally correctly identified the BEST SELLING plant at the nursery! Evergreen, dependable. Perfect for knot gardens or low hedges. Just needs a hard trim in early spring Quick growing, reaches a respectable size in just a year. Next to impossible to find in the trade. This is an amazingly useful, easy, pretty little shrub.
