Prized for its glossy foliage and white blooms, it yields edible red berries. Thriving in USDA zones 4-9, it requires full sun to part shade and well-drained soil. Ideal for ground cover, it's drought-tolerant once established. This seaside native attracts pollinators while resisting deer, adding ecosystem value to coastal-inspired designs.
