Small, narrow leaves that are soft to touch are retained all year and in spring new slightly lighter green growth emerges. New growth in spring is followed by tiny white flowers that bloom throughout the summer if it’s left unclipped. Flowers mature into small black berries that last into winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAtrovirens tolerates harsh pruning and will grow quickly in almost any soil that isn’t waterlogged.
