  • Description

  • Notes

Evergreen dense shrub grows to 6' x 9' . Leaves are rounded and silvery on narrow, vertical stems. Eventually forms dense, rounded shrub. Very tough, tolerant of drought and alkaline soils. Should be grown in sun to part shade, with little or no summer watering when established. Plants are male and female so fruit will only appear on females.
