Super hardy and great deep green winter color.
A quintessential selection that is super winter hardy, excellent for hedges, borders, accents, groupings, foundation plantings and formal gardens. Attractive medium-green in summer, developing a slight bronze tint in winter. Easily transplanted B & B or from containers. Best sited in filtered sun, although performance of evaluation plants in full sun, as well as shaded locations, has been good. Extremely wet sites should be avoided.
