  • Description

  • Notes

A well-developed woody base is apparent with this evergreen sub-shrub. Its leaves assume an obtuse form, and have a grey-green color above and a white tomentose shade below. It needs little water, full sun, and well drained soils. Strong lavendar scent for perfumes and sachets.
Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball just above ground level. 3. Mix soil with 25% amendment and %75 soil. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build basin and water.
