Description

This reliable shrub can quickly reach 10' tall and 6' wide, thus used as a hedge or screen. This plant does best in full sun (even in some desert areas) but requires regular watering and more during hot summer months. Foliage is evergreen, somewhat oval shaped, yellow-centered blotches surrounded by dark green edges. It tolerates coastal conditions. Flowers are considered inconspicuous.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
