Deciduous to semi-evergreen shrub with an upright-rounded, dense habit. If planted near the ocean it will be a lower-growing shrub than when planted inland. This plant thrives in poor, sterile, sandy soil. It also does well in heavy clay soils. Excellent choice for mass plantings or borders, especially where salt spray is an issue.
