It forms a dense, bun-shaped and is grown for its fan-like horizontal sprays of glossy dark green foliage.
This plant grows well in pots and is very ornamental, but will also make a good contrast or accent amongst other plants in shrubberies or rockeries. It can also make a good medium hedge and responds well to regular trimming.
