Description

A very hardy evergreen with dense, lacy, soft foliage of a bright green color, the 'Arcadia' is excellent for use as a wide border, ground cover, or low foundation plant. This shrub/groundcover can also be used for erosion control on steep slopes or used to cascade off a wall. 'Arcadia' needs occasional watering once it's established. It prefers full sun and will spread 6' wide with a height of 1' tall. It can be potted for bonsai.

Water Saving Tip:

Mulching and adding compost to soil can minimize evaporation and help soil absorb and store water.
