Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Tiny little, glossy, dark green leaves on a neat, tidy, and yes, compact, little subshrub, a foot or so tall, which can be sheered into neat little boxes or tiny hedges for a formal garden that are far lovelier (and better smelling...) than any buxus could ever be. All that, and nice magenta flowers in early summer as well. Zone 5
