At The Greenhouse Nursery in Logan, UT, Bearberry is the kind of shrub we like for evergreen groundcover texture for water-wise edges and slopes. Plant it in full sun to partial shade. Once established, it can handle drier stretches with less fuss. Try it in slopes when you want more texture and seasonal interest.
