Description

A well-developed woody base is apparent with this evergreen subshrub, reaching 1' tall and wide. Its leaves have a gray green color above and a white woolly shade below. It needs little water once it's established, full sun, and well drained soils. During spring and summer, lavender blue, scented flowers appear, attracting bees. Dried flowers are used for perfumes and sachets. Prune in late winter.
