Description

Long, straight branches with a dense leaf supply highlight this plant. Its shiney green leaves are very small and ovular in shape. New leaves emerge a maroon color that persists most of the year. 4-6' tall and wide but takes pruning well to reduce size. Suitable for hedging. Semi-evergreen to evergreen.

Water Saving Tip:

Group plants with similar water needs together so that some plants aren't over watered to meet the needs of their more thirsty neighbors.

Never include shrub and lawn areas in the same sprinkler zone.
