This prostrate deciduous shrub is a resilient groundcover that hugs the earth, reaching only 10 to 14 inches in height while spreading up to 8 feet wide. Its glossy green, aromatic foliage transforms into a vibrant display of amber, orange, and red in the fall. Ideal for xeriscaping, it thrives in full sun to part shade and well-drained soil. It is exceptionally drought-tolerant once established, making it perfect for stabilizing slopes, cascading over walls, or as a living mulch.
