Description and Growing Information
Flowering Period
| General Description |
| A more diminutive form than the species and certainly less aggressive, not forming the extensive mats of roots and thus we hope less invasive. |
| Landscape |
| Mass planting, acting as a ground-cover shrub, possibly like the species in places where erosion control is required. |
| Cultivation |
| Tolerant of a wide variety of site conditions, except extremely wet feet. Requires watering and after care to establish but then should be easy to maintain. |
| Shape |
| Upright but clump forming. |
| Growth |
| Medium |
| Pests |
| None of note. |
| Habitat |
| Horticultural origin. |
| Propagation |
| By division of clumps separating runners, or semi-hardwood cuttings. |
