A dense, evergreen rounded shrub covered in silver, woolly leaves that can grow to 5′ tall and wide, but tends to stay smaller in north Texas. Its delightful orange, marble-sized blooms attract many butterflies. You’ll notice the biggest display of blooms in spring and summer.
This resilient shrub is native to the Chihuahuan Desert, making it well-suited to handle heat, cold, intense sunlight, and drought. Requires little to no pruning. Although drought-tolerant once established, flourishes best when soil does not completely dry out.
