Fast-growing evergreen shrub with a spreading growth habit to 3-6’ tall x 5-10’ wide. Interesting rosemary-like pale-green leaves with white undersides are accented with dainty brilliant-white flowers that appear on the branch tips primarily in spring and throughout the year in warmer climates. This popular species is revered for it’s mounding growth habit and great tolerance to coastal wind and sea spray conditions. Though this relatively pest and disease free shrub is drought tolerant it performs best with a more regular watering schedule during spring and summer better retaining its color and density. Great left to develop it’s naturally rounded shape in large beds and borders it also takes well to shearing as a hedge or to produce a more formal appearance. Prefers a well-drained soil. Full sun to partial shade.
