The plant forms a compact little shrub, very decorative near a path. Its interest is at its best in a container, where you can fully enjoy the foliage details and the very dense silhouette.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1203\" data-end=\"1225\">Colours<\/h3>\n<ul data-start=\"1227\" data-end=\"1575\">\n<li data-start=\"1227\" data-end=\"1335\">\n<p data-start=\"1229\" data-end=\"1335\"><strong>Spring<\/strong> : yellow-green with bronze\/orange to reddish edges on young leaves.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1336\" data-end=\"1463\">\n<p data-start=\"1338\" data-end=\"1463\"><strong>Summer <\/strong>: green (often deeper), sometimes with pinkish nuances on new shoots depending on conditions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1464\" data-end=\"1575\">\n<p data-start=\"1466\" data-end=\"1575\"><strong>Autumn<\/strong> : yellow to orange; some reports mention a hint of red at the end of the season.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-start=\"1577\" data-end=\"1595\">Habit &amp; vigour<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1597\" data-end=\"1765\">Very compact, dense habit; very slow growth (dwarf).
