Growing Conditions & Care:

• Appearance: Small, glossy green leaves on a dense, rounded shrub. Can develop bronze tones in extreme cold.
• Uses: Perfect for topiary balls,, border hedging, and formal potted features.
• Size: Generally grows to 0.5m-1m high and wide, but easily kept smaller.
• Light: Thrives in full sun to part shade.
• Soil: Requires well-drained, fertile soil. Avoid waterlogging.
• Care: Requires regular pruning (spring/summer) to maintain the ball shape. Water regularly during establishment and in dry weather. 

Uses In The Garden:

• Framing: Place a pair on either side of a front door or garden gate to make the entrance look formal and neat.
• Pathways: Line a path with a row of balls to create a clear, guided walk through the garden.
• Pots: Grow them in large pots or urns for a low-maintenance, classic look on patios or balconies.
• Filling Gaps: Tuck them into empty corners of garden beds to provide green structure all year round.
• Modern Look: Place a few of different sizes together on a bed of white pebbles for a clean, minimalist style.
