Cold hardy to zone 7 and above, or to 5 degrees Fahrenheit.

This Chilean native has small lance-shaped dark evergreen leaves. The dark foliage is high lighted by the purple-red stems. Plants we've seen are only 6'-8' tall, but may get bigger. We grow as a handsome container plant. Plants in Eugene have survived in the ground for many years in a more protected area than our garden. The flowers are small and white but make a nice show on the plants.

Dark green evergreen leaves are perfectly matched with the rich red stems. Moderate to slow growth to 8' tall in time.
