A small to medium sized, globe shaped evergreen. Heavy bronzer - very showy, rich deep golden foliage turns coppery to brownish yellow in the winter. No pruning is needed, it will not become overgrown. It's a good accent plant in your landscape and can also be used very effectively in container gardening. Moderate to fast growth.
Change of color from the bright yellow of spring & summer to the dark golden copper shade of winter also gives an attractive change of pace and seasonal interest.
