|---|---|
| Average Size at Maturity | Moderate growing; reaches 6 to 10 ft. tall and wide in 10 years. |
| Bloom Time | Spring |
| Design Ideas | Use at the edges of the woodland garden or anywhere it will receive dappled shade. This broadleaf evergreen is good for quickly screening out areas without blocking the view. Plant a row to cover the potting area or the compost pile in the garden. Lower growth tends to be looser, making it well-suited for wider beds with low to medium shrubs planted at the foreground, if the desired effect is dense foliage from top to the ground. |
