More about this plant

A dense, rounded evergreen shrub growing 3 to 4 feet high and 4 to 5 feet wide, with silver green foliage whose new growth emerges red orange before maturing to deep green. Pink flowers open from winter through spring, followed by blue black berries that support wildlife. It takes part shade to full sun with at least three hours of direct sun, preferring morning sun, and an average well drained soil at pH 6.0 to 7.5 with medium watering; established plants tolerate moderate drought and coastal exposure. Space plants about 4 feet apart for a low hedge or 6 to 8 feet as individual specimens, and use it for mass plantings, borders, containers, slopes or foundation beds.
