Description

The evergreen stems provide winter interest, and are a great contrast against both snow and dark-colored structures. The plant is easy-going and low-maintenance, drought-resistant, blooms for a long period of time, and will grow nearly anywhere.
K. japonica is a small ornamental shrub that typically matures at 5-8 feet tall by 6 feet wide. Its arching or weeping clump growth habit becomes rounded by age. The Kelly-green branches are slender and smooth, and retain their color throughout the winter.
