Carmel creeper

This fast growing, evergreen groundcover grows 3-4′ tall and 10-12′ wide.

The shrub’s shiny leaves, a mounding mass, dense form, and graceful habit make it an attractive bank cover. A great plant for a coastal garden where it is exposed to strong winds and salt spray, but also good in coastal valleys, and ok inland if given a little afternoon shade and weekly sprinkles.

Easy-to-grow and hardy. Can be pruned to keep a lower aspect and useful in various landscape designs.
