How to care

Full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil, tolerating drought, salt wind, and poor ground once established. Water through the first summers, then occasionally. Clips well into hedges and rounded forms; trim after flowering. Naturally dense, so it rarely needs renovation, though it will reshoot from older wood if cut back. Watch for scale insects in still, sheltered positions.
