Pearl Bluebush
Maireana sedifolia
SKU
41211
A perfect waterwise pot-filler or accent for the drought tolerant landscape where hues of bluish grey and white are desired. Endemic to Australia, this small, easy-care shrub thrives in the heat and sun of the south, yet is quite hardy. The unusual silver, slightly succulent foliage adds wonderful texture and contrast to borders, rock gardens, containers, and cut flower displays.
