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.

Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball at ground level. 3. Prepare soil mix of equal parts soil and soil amendment. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build Basin and water.
