Description

An evergreen shrub that grows to 2'-3' tall and 3'-5' wide, this plant produces small, dull gray green, hairy leaves. White flowers bloom in spring, followed by dusky red berries. It is great for use on slopes since it is prostrate and mounding. It prefers full sun to light shade. This shrub is drought tolerant once it's established. It's important not to overwater as it will affect berry production.
