This versatile evergreen shrub features a naturally dense, rounded habit that makes it an excellent choice for formal gardens, hedges, or foundation plantings. Hardy in Zones 5-8, it thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun to partial shade. Its foliage remains a rich green year-round, with no significant fall color change. The plant produces inconspicuous yellow-green flowers in spring, although its main appeal lies in its lush, tidy form. Deer-resistant and low-maintenance, this shrub can reach a mature height and spread of 2-4 feet when clipped into a globe shape. Ideal for sculptural accents, it maintains its uniform appearance with occasional pruning, making it a popular choice for any landscape design.
