    A particularly charming little shrub to only about 18" in height and width, with upheld branches sporting gold leaves aging to a very light green. Excellent small container plant, rock garden, or 'lil tiny hedge. Sun to part shade with some summer water where dry. USDA Zone 7.

    Small leafed evergreen shrub that becomes a groomed little globe of green foliage with sparkling yellow new growth at tips. We need more good looking, smaller garden choices like this one, that only grows 2-3’. A formal look with no work! Most soils, some summer water -undemanding and easy. Use as an accent, a low hedge or in containers. USDA Z6
