It stays nice all winter even after harsh weather without getting too ragged. The only thing that was a little disappointing is that my first one was a boring green but I just bought three more that are chartreuse...so I hope that adds more color. A great tough native.

Set my new treasure in its pot under a fir where dead lower branches had just been cut out. Terrific. So in went the shovel, but not very far - roots and rocks just where it needed to go.

A shovelful of compost added a couple of weeks ago. Big, happy plant.

This plant did very well. I purchased two of them and they were quite small. We had a very bad drought this past summer and were not able to water at all for any reason. This plant did wonderfully - for the two of them to both bloom the first year during a draught was wonderful. They are evergreen and even the snow this past winter did not bother them.
