🌿 Description
A beautiful evergreen shrub known for its striking bright red young foliage, which gradually turns deep green as it matures. Its fresh color adds contrast and seasonal interest to the garden.
🏡 In the Garden
Excellent as a low hedge, border plant, or privacy screen. It can also be trained into a pyramid shape or grown as a standard (tige) with a rounded ball crown for a more formal look.
☀️ Light
Prefers full sun to partial shade. More sunlight generally gives stronger red new growth.
🌡️ Climate
Well suited to most Lebanese regions, from sea level to around 1,300 m. It tolerates heat and moderate cold when established.
💧 Watering
Moderate watering, with more during hot and dry periods.
✂️ Maintenance
Regular pruning encourages new growth and helps maintain a dense hedge or defined topiary shape.
💡 Plant Express Tip
Prune after a flush of growth to encourage new red foliage and keep the plant dense and attractive.
