Description

'Silver Cloud' is an evergreen shrub, slowly growing to 3' high and wide. It has small gray white leaves that densely cover the shrub. Foliage is striking against the deep purple flowers that bloom in summer and fall. Bunnies love this plant! 'Silver Cloud prefers full sun and is drought tolerant once it's established. Be careful not to overwater. It needs well draining soil.

Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
