Special features: An evergreen shrub with bronze-purple leaves
Wavy-margined, bronze-purple leaves and dramatic, dark grey or black young stems. This compact, rounded evergreen shrub is perfect for providing all-year foliage interest in a sunny, well-drained mixed border. While it sometimes produces honey-scented, dark-purple flowers in late spring and early summer, it's not a reliable flowerer. Protect from cold, drying winds.
