Shrubs - Bush Morning Glory

Soft silvery mounds with bright white blooms. These mounding subshrubs are tougher than they look. They form domes of silvery, pubescent gray-green long leaves to only 1-2 ft. high, but they will spread in width to a sizeable space, making proper placement and sitting critical in landscapes. In spring, masses of pink buds open to white morning glory-like flowers covering the entire plant. These plants resent shearing or heavy-handed pruning, which means giving them ample room to fill out fully is important to their long-term success. These are Mediterranean plants, which translates into giving them little to no supplemental water during cooler months of the year. Cold temperatures and wet soils can combine to cause root rot issues that most do not recover from.
