2 Litre Pot - Bigger Size, Better Value!
Great for using as an unusual ground cover, this exceptionally low-maintenance and hardy shrub is ideal for those new to gardening who need to cover lots of ground for little cash and effort! Its robust, evergreen leaves will ensure there is always something to look at. Simple white flowers smother the prostrate, low-growing frame in summer, later followed by brilliant-red berries.

Care Notes
On arrival, unpack your new garden additions, and, if needed, give a light watering. Your plants are containerised and established, so you can get planting, as long as the ground is not waterlogged or frozen (in these situations, keep your plants in a sheltered position while you wait). For the first year, keep an eye on moisture availability, while roots settle into their new home.
For shrubs, dig a hole, allowing 2 inches either side of the pot width. Try and ensure you plant your new arrival at the same level in the ground as it had been sitting at in its pot. We recommend using a small sprinkle of rootgrow to the base of the planting hole – this will stimulate optimum root development.
