Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Our latest selection, this one with an exceptionally short height of only 2 feet. Selected out of 'Purpurea' seedlings, it still has purple tainted leaves, which are more intense in the beginning of the season and also after a good trim in summer. Some of the leaves have ruffled edges, along with the bushy habit hence the name.
