I am a very compact, neat, round shrub as my self-branching habit naturally develops a spherical shape without the need for pruning. If you want a low hedge for a border which needs no maintenance plant a row of me 40cm to 50cm apart. I also work well in a pot and can be used to add greenery to paved areas and balconies. Hardy and adaptable I thrive in most free draining soils.
