This evergreen shrub reaches 1.5' tall and spreads to 3 times the height. It has woody stems, with clusters of small pinkish flowers which bloom in summer and fall. Its gray foliage makes a good bank, slope or ground cover plant. It will also make a good looking, manicured border plant. It is drought tolerant and needs full sun to light shade.

Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
