An evergreen cushion of a shrub with dense, small, diamond-shaped leaves hugging upright stems. The specific epithet, or species name, ‘coralloides’ meaning coral-like is spot-on as it does appear like something you may have seen on your last snorkeling trip in warm, clear waters teaming with life and beauty. Blooms are small, white, and not too significant, but the year-round foliage aspect is well worth the spot of garden real estate it occupies.

Mature size: 1 ft T x 2-3 ft W

Minimum temperature: 10-15 F
