Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Hallmarked by a well-groomed verdure, the low growing 'Green Beauty' is second-to-none for hedging or edging, accenting the rock garden or making an architectural statement just about anywhere. Polished, small rounded leaves maintain a crisp, dark green look all year long while cloaking the upright, yet compact semidwarf form. This versatile evergreen can handle hot and cold weather and makes a plucky counterpoint amid Westringia 'Smokey' or Teucrium fruticans (Select Form).
