This low-growing, spreading shrub is a vigorous groundcover with a sprawling habit, making it excellent for erosion control or embellishing borders. Hardy in USDA Zones 4-9, it thrives in full sun and tolerates a range of temperatures between -30°F to 100°F. It produces an abundance of small, vibrant pink flowers from late spring through summer, creating a stunning display. The leaves are glossy and green, with no significant fall color. It prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil and is moderately resistant to deer browsing. At maturity, it reaches a height of 1–2 feet and spreads up to 5–6 feet. Although not known for fruit, its low-maintenance and disease-resistant qualities make it an ideal choice for covering large areas with a splash of color.
