Description

Evergreen shrub grows to 4' x 4'. Tiny silver leaves, deep violet flowers. Almost identical to Thundercloud? but is larger and not as profuse a flowerer. This group is especially susceptible to overwatering so well drained sites are needed. It is drought tolerant once established. Original mother plant was located at the entrance to Big Bend Park. - Mountain States Nursery

Water Saving Tip:

Even during our hottest months we don't need to water daily.

Give your plants a chance to breathe.

Water late at night or in the early morning hours to avoid losses to wind and evaporation.
