The shrub just withered on me over several weeks after I planted it. I chose it because it supposedly will grow anywhere without being invasive. Definitely not invasive, it isn't even in my garden anymore. I don't know what I did wrong, I fertilized it, watered it, treated it like I treat my azaleas, which are thriving. :(

Westcoast native that tolerates dry conditions, grows well as a ground-cover and its leaves turn a nice red in winter. One of the few plants that grows well in dry shade. Fruit can be used to make crumble/pie.
