Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This very compact shrub, to upwards of 6' and rather narrow, has densely held, 1-2", almost succulent, spring-green leaves with spines towards the ends. This cross has all the glossiness and cold hardiness of I. cornuta and the delicate beauty of the more tender I. dimorphophylla. Good for small specimens or hedges and a most attractive pot specimen. Prefers dappled shade to full sun and regular, even if infrequent, summer water. Frost hardy in upper USDA zone 6 or low zone 7.
