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.
