This hardy native thrives in well-draining soil and adapts to both full sun and partial shade, making it versatile for various garden settings. Its small, glossy leaves develop rich burgundy tones in cooler months, adding seasonal interest to borders and hedging schemes. Slow-growing and naturally tidy, it requires minimal pruning while maintaining an elegant form.
