With small, glossy dark green leaves that maintain their color even through harsh winters, it offers reliable form and foliage in formal gardens, foundation plantings, and low hedges. Its compact size and tidy habit make it ideal for use in symmetrical designs, borders, or as a low-maintenance alternative to more labor-intensive clipped hedges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"549\" data-end=\"904\"\u003eReaching about 2.5 to 3 feet tall and wide, \u003cem data-start=\"593\" data-end=\"606\"\u003eNorth Star®\u003c\/em\u003e grows slowly and responds well to light pruning, though it rarely requires much shaping.
