A small hardy evergreen shrub, suitable forrock-work or edgings. It likes a light, dry soil and an open
situation. It may be propagated by seeds, which are freely produced;

taken as early as possible so as to become well rooted before cold
weather sets in. It flowers from April to June. Height, 6 in. to 8 in.
