This is a great choice for planting as groundcover as the creeping shoots reach outwards and will trail downwards over a wall or down a slope.

The evergreen leaves are dark green with creamy white variegation and these really stand out in a winter garden. Plant this shrub in a sunny position to get the optimum amount of flowers.
