  1. Thank you!!!
    I found this plant left for dead on the side walk in my neighborhood.
    I couldn't believe that it was being thrown out.
    So I put it on the back of my truck and took it home.
    However, I wasn't sure what it was and how to care for it.
    I've been searching on line for over a month and finally found a picture of it and went to this website.
    I'm so excited!
    Thanks again!��

    1. Yay! You have found a beauty!! Love it when the plant is grown either mounding to form a sphere or as a low hedge. The plant looks good in a container too. I am happy for you and happy gardening :D
