  • Description

  • Notes

Tight compact form with stiff branches, growing slowly to 3' x 3'. Silver-white foliage and deep purple flowers. Blooms repeatedly during summer and fall making it one of the most floriferous. It is also most apt to rot if over-watered. Candidum is native in West Texas on limestone hillsides 2200-4900'. It is drought tolerant once established. - Mountain States Nursery
