This creeping shrub also goes by the names Southern California Snowberry and Trip Vine because of its low, sprawling style of growing, though it only reaches about 1 1/2 feet in height. It produces pink flowers in early summer, followed by clusters of white berries. This plant can tolerate shade to full sun and a variety of dry soils.
