Nursery contributed plant descriptions

O. 'Sasaba' is an outstanding plant. The sharply pointed evergreen leaves look somewhat like a small bamboo. We have seen 5'-6' upright shrubs of O. 'Sasaba' at Brookside Gardens, MD and were very impressed. The plants we are offering are 3 year olds and seem to take off and grow faster after this age.
