Notes
Upright durable desert shrub grows to 6' x 4'. Woolly gray foliage contrasts well with clusters of tiny lavender flowers in the spring. Attracts hummingbirds. Can exist on rainfall alone but will accept supplemental water to speed up growth. Accepts reflected heat. Native to the southwestern deserts.
