Description

Medium sized shrub to 8' from Chihuahua & Sonora. Character is open and sprawling. Branches are grey & covered with greyish-olive, small leaves which are oval and toothed. Leaves are usually evergreen except with hard freezes. Sun or shade. Not as attractive in winter. Give adequate room so pruning will not destroy its character. Warm humid conditions trigger blooms which are small & pure white in masses. Tough and needs little maintenance. Mexican native, it is drought tolerant when established.

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.
