Excellent tough, dwarf, dense, bushy, evergreen plant, with very colourful bright green foliage margined with broad silver, which is tinged pink in winter. Bears many inconspicuous green-white flowers from early to mid-summer. If conditions are correct global white fruits are formed and these open to reveal orange seeds in the autumn. Tolerant of dense shade but leaf colour will be brighter in a sunny position. Makes an excellent low hedge but can be used for ground cover if trimmed hard, or trained against a wall. HEDGE Trim in May and August. For hedges 9ins-2ft (23-60cm). Plant 1ft (30cm) apart. SHRUB 2ft x 4ft (60cm x 120cm).
