  • Notes

The dark green foliage of this plant has the form of flattened planes. It has very slow growth properties to a size of 3' high by 2' wide. It requires partial shade for growth, and is a choice plant for either rock or Asian gardens.
Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball just above ground level. 3. Mix soil with 25% amendment and %75 soil. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build basin and water.
