Medium sized grows to 6' x 6'. Branches are covered with gray-green small leaves which are oval & toothed. Give adequate room so pruning will not destroy its character. Warm humid conditions trigger clusters of small white blooms. Effective for screening or informal hedge. Will accept reflected sun. Native to Chihuahuan and Sonoran deserts.

Frost hardy to 18 F.
