The 'Golf Ball' is a wonderfully rounded and compact evergreen shrub which is great for adding structure to your garden. The mint-green leaves are uniformly elliptic in shape and are held on dark purple stems, which adds colour to your garden all year round. In late spring small, dark-purple flowers arrive and these have a sweet, honey-like scent. This delightful evergreen requires very little pruning to keep its neat, spherical shape.
Plant this in a sunny bed or border, ideally in a sheltered position, to protect it in colder areas.
