Growing Conditions & Care:

• Foliage: Changes from lime-green/yellow in summer to vivid red/burgundy in winter.
• Habit: Compact, dense, upright shrub with fine-textured foliage.
• Sun Requirements: Full sun to part shade; best red color is produced in full sun.
• Water Needs: Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established.
• Usage: Excellent for low-maintenance hedging, low screening, and container planting.
• Spacing: Space 50–60 cm apart for a dense hedge.

Uses In The Garden:

• Low Hedging & Borders: Its compact growth (up to 1m) makes it ideal for defining pathways or creating low-maintenance borders. For a dense hedge, space plants 50–60cm apart.
• Mass Planting: Grouping several plants together creates “colourful waves” that provide a high-impact, uniform look in large beds.
• Container Gardening: Its tidy, architectural form is perfect for decorative pots on patios or balconies where space is limited.
• Softening Hardscapes: Use it along fence lines or stone walls to “soften” harsh edges with its fine, bamboo-like foliage.
• Rockeries: Because it is drought-tolerant and hardy, it thrives in the well-drained, often exposed conditions of a rock garden.
