| Design Ideas | Although of Asian origin, this highly versatile small shrub blends in well in a variety of themed gardens such as cottage, tropical and Mediterranean. Place in the front of sunny beds and borders in groups of three or more. Excellent choice for late-summer color in compositions featuring lower growing, shrubbier herbs and woody perennials. Great for along white picket fences or to flesh out raised planters. Small enough to fit nicely into city gardens and town-house yards. |
