The native range of this species is Mexico to NW. Argentina.. A low, evergreen shrub, grown mainly for its fruit, which are pale purple - lilac but lots of white, is a fair description. Cute leaf arrangements, It was once known as Pernettya prostrata subsp. purpurea - a case where all three parts of the name have been changed. Acidic, humus. Partial shade is best, moisture. Some sources say it is only hardy to -1°C, but no trouble here with some very cold frosts.
