Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Attractive, silvery grey foliage marks this rare-in-the-trade California native shrub from the Channel Islands. To 3’ tall & about 4’ spread, it makes an excellent evergreen (ever-grey!) subject for a dry garden or dry hillside. The flowers are small & look like little yellow and orange tufts held on stuning white, felty stems. Give good drainage.
