It typically grows up to 3 metres tall and 2-3 metres wide, with small, narrow leaves and clusters of delicate, white or pink flowers in spring and summer. This plant is ideal for use in rock gardens, coastal gardens, or as a low hedge or border plant. It is drought-tolerant and can grow in a range of soil types, but prefers well-draining sandy or loamy soils. It also attracts birds and other wildlife to the garden.
