Description

This open evergreen shrub grows to 6'-12' tall and 4" wide. Flowers are dark purple. It requires heavy pruning, and should be grown in sun with little or no summer watering when established. The 'Monterey Bay' grows best with little rain, but will tolerate relatively heavy soils if summer watering is infrequent. This plant will be severely damaged by temperatures between 20-25 degrees F. It is great for hot and dry areas. -Monterey Bay Nursery

Water Saving Tip:

Check your irrigation controller once a month, and adjust as necessary.

Most plants require only one-third as much water in winter as they do in summer.
