'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.

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.
