Rhamnus
frangula 'Fine Line'®
Fine Line Buckthorn
zones 2-7
|
| Description:
A great new landscape plant, FINE LINE® combines the feathery foliage of
‘Aspenifolia’ with the narrow upright habit of ‘Columnaris.’ Use FINE LINE®
in narrow hedgerows for privacy, as an accent plant, or even in a patio
container. It’s a great vertical accent for the perennial garden, and the
narrow habit is perfect for framing entrances. This is an extremely useful,
architectural plant for the home or commercial landscape. This cultivar
produces very few fruit, none of which have been shown to be viable. FINE
LINE® is a responsible and environmentally friendly replacement for weedy,
older varieties. |
