A great choice as a hedge, border or foundation planting. Slow growing and they maintain a perfect rounded shape that makes them look as though they are professionally trimmed every day.
Very small leaves. Much smaller than a regular yaupon. They are reportedly deer resistant. Rich, dark colored leaves offers good contrast with other things you may have planted. I don't think I've ever seen one not doing well. Easy to find in Florida garden centers.
