Purchased 'Little Gem' becaused I loved the species and thuoght the smaller size could be utilized in tighter spaces. Unfortunately 2 of the 5 plants disappeared the first year and by the second year they were all gone. The only cultural condition they did not receive was full sun, although they did get over 1/2 day. Very disappointed with their performance.
