An evergreen small leaved sub-shrub which makes a mound. Versatile in the garden, where it can be used as an alternative to dwarf Box (Buxus suffruticosa) for edging and trimmed accordingly. It can also be used for ground-cover on sunny banks or on the edge of a wall, where it will tumble over the edge.
Attractive to bees and other insects, so encouraging pollination in the garden. Produces many rose-pink flowers from the summer into autumn.
