| A prostrate, creeping sub-shrub to 15 feet wide. Leaves are 1 inch long, glossy, bright green and leathery, turning red in winter. Flowers are small, urn-shaped, white or pinkish. Fruit bright red or pink. A most useful plant in the Northwest, especially since it is a native species. Slowness in starting can cause weed problems. Mulch with peat moss or sawdust to keep down weeds, and keep moist, especially when establishing. | |
