Moderate-growing evergreen shrub with an upright growth habit to 8-10’ tall x 5-7’ wide. This attractive variety features small, glossy, silvery-gray-green leaves set on thin black stems. An eye-catching contrast that stands out in any setting. Takes well to shearing where it can easily be maintained as a formal hedge or screen. Left un-pruned, this variety will tend to have an airy, more open growth habit, which helps to accentuate its contrasting foliage that shimmers in the slightest of breezes. Prefers regular watering in well-drained soil, and thrives in a partial to full sun exposure.
USDA Zone: 8-11
