Compact upright shrub to 8 to 10 ft. tall, 5 to 7 ft. wide. |
Key Plant Benefits
A compact selection with small silvery-green leaves on thin black stems. Well suited to shearing to create a formal hedge. Unsheared, the airy habit allows sunlight to accentuate the silver sheen & the breeze to cause the leaves to shimmer. Evergreen. |
Care Instructions
Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. For a tidy, neat appearance, shear annually to shape. |
