Description

This reliable, evergreen shrub quickly reaches 6'-10' tall and wide. It can be pruned to your liking in winter. Large oval leaves first appear silvery color and then change to olive green with silver dots. Small, fragrant, creamy white flowers appear in fall, followed by brownish red fruit. This shrub tolerates full to part sun with medium to low watering. It is drought tolerant once it's established. It does well in coastal conditions as well as warmer inland areas. Tolerates heat and wind. It can be used as a barrier, for erosion control or hillsides.
