Be Inspired: How to Use this Plant
| Bloom Time | Fall through winter |
|---|---|
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Evergreen |
| Special Features | Non-toxic to Cats and Dogs |
| Growth Rate | Moderate |
| Flower Attributes | Flowers for Cutting, Long Bloom Season, Showy Flowers |

| Landscape Use | Border, Container, Hedge |
| Design Ideas | Excellent choice for cool, shade to semi-shade settings as a colorful low hedge, espalier, or groundcover due to its short, pendulous habit. A great addition to an Asian inspired garden or in mass at the front fringe of a woodland setting. Ideal for filling a tree understory, where its glossy leaves and cool season color will add interest. This is a well-behaved shrub for planting between taller structures or along a fence line, allowed to spill over a raised planter, or from hanging baskets or pots, where its branches will gently soften the edges. |

| Foliage Color | Dark Green |
| Companion Plants | Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum); Lily of the Valley Shrub (Pieris); Rhododendron (Rhododendron); Magnolia (Magnolia); Cedar (Cedrus) |
| Care Instructions | Provide organically rich, well-drained, acidic soil. Keep roots cool with a thick layer of mulch. Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency, once established. Prune lightly to shape and feed with an acid fertilizer after flowering. |
