ON THIS PLANT
This small, easy-care shrub is the perfect water-wise pot-filler or accent for drought-tolerant landscapes, especially where shades of bluish-grey and white are desired. Native to Australia, it thrives in the heat and sun of the southern regions and is quite hardy. Its unique, silver, slightly succulent foliage adds a wonderful texture and contrast to borders, rock gardens, containers, and cut flower displays.
