A small, slow-growing evergreen shrub with dense, rounded habit.   The deep purple undulating mature leaves contrast with the green young shoots.   This is an ideal shrub for clipping into topiary balls and is a good substitute for Buxus.   Plant in moist, well drained acid, alkaline or neutral soil in full sun or partial shade.   Hardiness rating H4.
