This is a rare thing - the scientific term for it is a bigeneric hybrid. What this means is its parents are from different (although closely related) families, in this case phyllodoce and kalmiopsis. Both are tiny acid loving shrubs. This one needs a reliably moist soil and at least half shade and is just a few inches high

Sweet little shrub - alas, such small plants soon become lost and/or swamped in my garden...
