Description

This evergreen shrub will grow 1-3' tall and has small, green leaves with clusters of tiny white flowers that bloom in spring and summer. In wildfires it burns very hot, so do not plant near structures. Heather-like dark green foliage is a stunning contrast to other foliage. Recommended for median strips, rock gardens, or containers. Very drought tolerant. No summer water once established.
