Am so very surprised.  Sensational unusual form, everblue, and
so far (knock on wood) pest and disease free.  Will be happy to
send you a section if you've a place for it  Makes a beautiful
backround frame for most any other smallish plant.  Likes moist
partial shade.  Also grows in my pond in full sun, but is just as happy
in several garden areas here.  Spreads slowly, and well....will take
a few pics when it gets light out and send em to you.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
