The Gardener's Notepad
Introduced in the late 1930's. Size is variable, and a lot of that has to do with how they are trimmed. Very low and spreading in youth and becoming taller with age but will maintain it's characteristic mounding habit if not deterred. Essential for an authentic Asian inspired garden.
