  • Description

  • Notes

One of the oldest of the leucophyllum selections. Dense rounded form requires little or no pruning. Mature size is 5' x 5'. Grey-silver foliage and a heavy producer of pink flowers as the humidity rises in summer. Does tolerate more water and heavier soils than other selections. It is drought tolerant once established.
