Just received and planted 5 jumbo gallon containers of this beautiful plant. Very compact, growing in a wonderful globular shape. Leaves are shiny small and star-like, color is a deep green with slight blue cast. I am very pleased with the size and health of these bushes.

I just received 5 of these, all uniform size and shape, all appear very healthy deep green. They have a 'star-like' appearance to the leaves, a very attractive small bush. Couldn't find them anywhere locally, and the other on line vendors were selling much smaller plants. These are 11-12 inches tall and across, very densely branched plants. I am very pleased.
