Chinese sweetspire is distinguished by its multiple, low-arching branches, creating a semi-evergreen shrub that grows between 6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3 meters) in height and spreads to about 6 feet (1.8 meters) wide. This plant is known for thriving in both wet conditions and various light exposures, from full sun to partial shade.
