Splendid golden-yellow margins on rich green foliage year-round. Superb hedge or low screen tolerates heat, wind and little maintenance. Silvery flowers are tiny but fragrant; red fall fruit. Evergreen. Full sun.
Border, Privacy Screen. With its brilliant coloring, this plant is a bright specimen in partially shaded gardens in need of excitement. Also good against darker backgrounds and for welcome color late in the year when flowering plants are through. A great way to interrupt long runs of dull foliage. Use sparingly when interplanting with other yellow, yellow-green or gray-green plants.
Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. For a tidy, neat appearance, shear annually to shape.
