Short lived individual plants but will reseed. A great shrub for difficult situations such as a hillside. Damaged in mid 20 degrees F. It does well in hot areas with well draining soil. Be careful of root rot in heavy soils. Do not overwater.

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
