Outstanding hedge created by planting 4 in a row 10 feet apart.. in 10 years it is 6 feet wide and 15 feet tall and always beautiful.. ...Read MoreI used only compost and leaves as mulch for compost, and they are always healthy. Have never watered or worried about it's health. The perfect privacy hedge for our pool.

"Considered to be the very best of the grandiflora cultivars by Pat McCracken who has a collection of 150 varieties. Resembles its mother, 'Little Gem', but much nicer. Extremely glossy, bright green leaves with deep orangy-brown furry undersides, unlike the scant fuzz on 'Little Gem'. Flowers for many months. Growth is faster and habit is upright and does not fall apart like 'Little Gem'. The father is suspected to be 'Bracken's Brown Beauty,' so it could be quite cold hardy as well. Grown from seed by Kevin Parris at Gilbert's Nursery, Chesnee, SC, where the original tree stands. Kevin named it for his mother. Note the name is properly spelled Parris with two r's! 20 x 10 feet in 10 yrs."
All I can add is, friends can't stop touching it and I can't stop looking at it and babying it. Just beautiful.
