Description

Similar in habit to Centennial, this clone grows 3-4' x 5'. Evergreen, Tolerant of extreme heat and sun. A male selection so no fluffy seed to spread and become new plants. Best to avoid planting or pruning during heat of summer. Reducing irrigations will maintain size. Not long lived. Watch for spider mites. One of the best groundcovers for hot summers.
