General Care
Soil Ideally, grow in moist acidic soils with good drainage. Tolerates urban conditions well, however.
Pruning Seldom needed, may be shaped in late winter.
Uses Very compact, dwarf habit is excellent for rock gardens and garden railways. Or use as a groundcover, edging, in mixed borders, or containers.
Growing Tips Chlorosis may occur on alkaline soils. Super dwarf habit all but eliminates the need to prune. Grows in shade, but color and form are best with some sun.
