  • Description

  • Notes

The dark green foliage of this plant is produced in 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: 1. Dig a hole 1" less the depth and 2 times the width of the container. 2. Fill hole with water, let soak. 3. Set root ball in hole. 4. Fill hole halfway with native soil and water. 5. Finish back filling hole, build basin and water.
