A true cottage garden classic! This easy to grow, drought tolerant, deer resistant, evergreen subshrub becomes completely enshrouded in innumerable 1” brilliant white flower clusters from very early Spring into Summer. Attractive, evergreen, texturally-rich foliage acts as a lovely foil for other plants throughout the rest of the year. Growing to about 1’ tall and 2’ wide, its relaxed mounding form is perfect for gently cascading over the border of a bed or tumbling out of a pot. Tough as nails and needing little maintenance beyond a light pruning once flowering is done, it gives you a great show for very little effort. Provide good drainage for best plant health. Attracts bees and butterflies!
