Same traits of ?Green Giant,? but at a much smaller size. Feathery, deep green foliage and a slower growth rate. Great solution for smaller spaces, and it makes an effective hedge or privacy screen when shrubs are planted about 5' apart. Needs little pruning and will tolerate light shade. Deer resistant.
