and deliciously scented as the arbutus. It thrives in 
full sunshine and in a rich, well-drained, light soil. 
Failures with this choice plant are largely due to 
wet, heavy soil or exposed and wind-swept locations. 
It retains its foliage through winter. While it seldom 
exceeds 8 inches in height, well-established plants 
often make a spread of 2 feet or more. 2-yr. plants,
