✂️ Care
Very easy to grow and low-maintenance shrub. Its semi-evergreen and dense foliage makes it an excellent choice for hedges, borders, or privacy screens. Can be pruned regularly to maintain a compact and structured shape.
Prune lightly in spring to encourage dense branching and a balanced habit. Remove dead or damaged branches as needed. Apply a light mulch at the base to improve drainage and enrich the soil.
Minimal intervention required once the plant is established. Very hardy and suitable for gardens of all experience levels.
