The foliage is similar to ‘Miss Kim’ and is a nice fresh green. The mature size makes this plant perfect for foundation plantings, but it can also be used en masse, or as an informal hedge where you don’t need a lot of height. At maturity, it is about half the size of ‘Miss Kim’. Rock solid hardy, it was bred on the northern plains of North America and will thrive even in zone 2. Developed by our friends at Jeffries Nursery in Canada.
