Great groundcover shrub. I have 5 planted in a row along the upper lip of a terraced retaining wall. The limbs have quickly intertwined (in 2 years time) to form a dense mat which effectively eliminates nearly all weeds. Multiseason interest.

This is a wonderful ground cover, spreads quickly and blooms white in the spring. Propagation of this plant is downright simple. It reroots itself, once a limb lays on the ground, roots sprout out and take hold.

Grows fast so keep an eye out on it.
