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:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
