Hi Barb,
Could they have been talking about Stephandra incisa 'Crispa'? This
shrub grows about 2' tall and spreads to about 6' with finely cut
leaves. New foliage unfurls in bronzy tones that fade to green,
and fall color is reddish orange with purplish hues. In May creamy
white flower clusters put on a slightly showy display.
It likes full sun and acidic soil, although I've seen it growing in
partially shaded conditions just fine. It doesn't tolerate foot traffic,
but is great for bank stabilization.
Hope this is what you're looking for!
Chris
