An attractive low growing plant. Branches grow horizontally. It gains height each year as the branching layers up. The branches are quite robust. Masses of small white flowers cover the branches to the tips. A young plant can look like a carpet of white. When in full flower branches are very useful for cutflower as the flowers have good lasting qualities.
It likes an open sunny situation in free draining acidic soils. It is quite drought tolerant once established and will withstand mild frosts once established. It is also able to handle coastal environments. Trim lightly once flowering has finished. Responds to feeding with a slow release shrub fertiliser in late Spring.
Useful plant in all areas of landscape use.
Looks stunning when mass planted. Due to low growth habit plant in front of the shrub border.
Height 50cm. Width 1.5m.
