Plant it anywhere full sun to full shade and it will thrive. Forget to water it, it will forgive you. These shrubs grow in a mounded shape and make wonderful accent plants, privacy plants or hedges. They're also useful in hiding the "unmentionables" like the air-conditioner or those funky above-ground drainage pipes that can spoil the look of a front yard. The umbrella-like leaflets generally cover up any cut points so the plant always looks good. The green variety grows fast, more rapidly than the popular variegated one. It can be kept 4 to 6 feet tall.
