Unlike the more commonly grown 'Sprengeri', which develops long cascading stems, 'Mazeppa' is distinguished by its \u003cstrong\u003ecompact, bushy and densely matted growth habit\u003c\/strong\u003e. This makes it particularly well suited to containers, borders and spaces where a more compact foliage plant is preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe plant develops dense, dark-green, needle-like foliage on relatively short, arching stems, creating a neat and lush appearance. It generally grows to around \u003cstrong\u003e30–50 cm in height and spread\u003c\/strong\u003e, forming a compact mound rather than the long trailing form associated with 'Sprengeri'. Small, fragrant white flowers may appear among the foliage, followed by small red berries, adding seasonal interest to the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eEnvironment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grows well in full sun to partial shade.
