A tough and versatile evergreen shrub with glossy green leaves edged in creamy white. As temperatures fall, the foliage often develops attractive pink tones, providing valuable colour and structure throughout winter.
Its compact, bushy growth is ideal for low hedging, borders, ground cover and containers. It can also be trained against a wall or fence. Easy to grow and tolerant of a wide range of conditions, ‘Emerald Gaiety’ performs well in full sun or partial shade and prefers moist but well-drained soil. It can be trimmed to maintain the desired shape and size.
