Be Inspired: How to Use this Plant
Bloom Time | Spring |
---|---|
Deciduous/Evergreen | Evergreen |
Special Features | Easy Care, Waterwise, Non-toxic to Cats and Dogs, Compact Form |
Problems/Solutions | Coastal Exposure, Tolerates Urban Pollution |
Growth Rate | Moderate |
Flower Attributes | Fragrant |
Landscape Use | Border, Container, Hedge, Ground Cover |
Design Ideas | In milder climates this is one of the most useful low-growing shrubs available. Plant it as a single specimen or in small groups. Short stature makes an ideal foundation planting under windows. With its spreading, dense foliage, it is also a great groundcover or filler beneath tree canopies, or between taller shrubs. Rich green color gives vibrancy to tropical plantings or Asian schemes. Use in a formal garden as edging or short hedges clipped into rigid forms. Also great in planter islands inside circular driveways where it will tolerate the reflected heat. |
Flower Color | White |
Foliage Color | Green |
Companion Plants | Agapanthus (Agapanthus); Heavenly Bamboo (Nandina); Bottlebrush (Callistemon); Blue Oat Grass (Heliotrichon); Loropetalum (Loropetalum) |
Care Instructions | Easy to grow in average, well-drained soils. Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency, once established. Apply a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. For a tidy, neat appearance, prune annually to shape. |
