Nursery contributed plant descriptions
This Tasmanian is one of the best silver-leafed evergreens for our area. A great cold hardy form which has sparkling 1" white flowers in early summer and aromatic foliage when bruised. Not that you are going to bruise it for it is really quite snuggly. Good drainage.
