Description

This evergreen shrub reaches 1.5' tall and spreads to 3 times the height. It has woody stems, with clusters of small pinkish flowers which bloom in summer and fall. Its gray foliage makes a good bank, slope or ground cover plant. It will also make a good looking, manicured border plant. It is drought tolerant and needs full sun to light shade.
