It has a compact, full growth habit and small leaves that make it the perfect shrub for smaller gardens. We tried to buy about 300 of these for spring 2010. We were only able to get 30. They were all gone in days! We have seen really young sizes of this plant listed for $45 (with economy shipping) at some mail order nurseries this spring. We are selling our for $39.95 and they are probably about 5 times bigger. Fall 2010 update: As of 8/15/2010 we had 20 in stock. We imagine these will go quickly.
