Foundation Compact

Compact, Low-Maintenance Holly

Gardeners are clamoring for compact, low maintenance evergreens that won't outgrow their place and which require no pruning - especially for foreground or foundation planting. The choices are very slim indeed. Finally there is a truly compact, cold hardy, large-leaved holly - maturing at only two feet tall by three feet wide, 'Ilex Little Rascal.' Developed and introduced by Monrovia only ten years ago - 'Little Rascal' is a hybrid of various holly species, resulting in improved cold hardiness, visual appeal and a compact shape.

Hollies were given the name Ilex by the ancient Celts after the prickly leaf European oak, Quercus ilex. To the Celts, evergreen plants were sacred and had the strongest spirits of any plants. They believed that if they brought evergreen plants into their homes during the winter, they would receive blessings from nature. Today, there are over 300 varieties of hollies and they are commonly grown as hedges or accent plants.

'Little Rascal' is a neat slow-growing male holly, commonly used to pollinate female hollies - the ones that get the berries. It has a dense, compact form - allowing it to easily fit into any landscape. The foliage is deep green, but will turn to a deep purple in the winter. Plant 'Little Rascal' as a pollinator for female hollies such as the "Blue" hollies, 'China Girl,' 'Dragon Lady,' 'San Jose' and many more. Because they have no berries, male hollies are often preferred in households with young children. Use 'Little Rascal' to line a path, under low windows or in the foreground of a foundation planting. It can also be planted in pots or raised planters.

Compact powder foundation and loose powder foundation - the difference?

I know that compact powder foundation is doesn't have a 'flour' consistency and that loose powder foundation does, but, is there a difference in the appearance of it when you put it on?

I prefer compact, but compact powder is known to cause breakouts because of the extra oils involved that condenses the powder.

Loose powder is better for your skin. Also, make sure you always use a makeup brush (and not a compact pad) whether its for compact or loose powder. It will help you spread the color more thoroughly and help prevent breakouts.
