(Cutting Grown)
a great choice for a dense groundcover or a low shrub. The foliage is holly-like, with prickly edges that give smaller creatures a safe place to tuck themselves away, while looking just menacing enough to discourage any leg lifting from the neighbor’s dog. In spring it throws out those unmistakable “toothbrush” blooms on the tips and short side branches—one-sided clusters in bright red. Tough and low-effort, it’s one of those plants that quietly goes about its business and always earns its space in the garden.
