If you are going to commit a horticultural faux pas, you might as well do it with this. Evergreen shrub, to 4-6 ft with tiny green leaves edged yellow, remaining so in a bit of shade; variegation becomes less distinct, more overall yellow, in brightest light. 'Lemon Beauty' makes a very nice low hedge. As a single plant, it shines. Sun to part shade with normal water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6.

Small lemon to chartreuse leaves each with a splash of green down the center do, indeed, make this arching 4-6' shrub a beauty... as well as very useful for hedge, foundation, or specimen. Sun-PSh/Med
