The Gardener's Notepad
Not unlike a golden fountain! Size varies considerably in the landscape, and with judicious pruning they can be indefinitely kept around 3 ft. tall. All too often they are ill placed, outgrowing their allotted space in 4 years. Then the blame is cast on the plant, when, in reality, whoever put it there is actually at fault. There are very few plants that are "bad". It's all about placement.
