Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Tangled, sprawling, ever-brown shrub from New Zealand, forming springy, weed-supressing mats to 1' thick, one of those New Zealand plants that looks dead but isn't. A striking spiller with the best color in full sun where soil is lean and the best growth in well-drained soil with occasional summer water. Insignificant flower are followed by brilliant blue berries, nice with the brownish foliage. Expand your color palette! Cold hardy in USDA zone 8.
