Lime Tuff is a great low maintenance plant for general landscaping work. It has an upright form, with bright green narrow leaves. It grows from an underground rhizome, which makes it able to resprout after hard cutbacks. Withstands heavy frost, and good for coastal plantings. It is proving to be adaptable to a wide range of climates from temperate to Mediterranean as well as sub tropical climates. Great as a border or pot plant, and can be used under trees.
