This evergreen shade shrub thrives in moist, acidic soil and suits woodland gardens and low-light zones. It performs best in shaded areas with steady moisture.
Collectors often select this evergreen plant for structure and rarity. Its low profile and refined texture make it useful for shaded borders or foundation planting. It is rarely seen in standard landscapes but valued in curated plant collections.
