I am a naturally dense rounded shrub with narrow grey-green to dark green leaves and small pale mauve flowers arising from the leaf axils predominately in spring and summer. Hardy I cope well with coastal conditions and exposed locations. Insect attracting I make an excellent even low hedge without the need for pruning. I will grow in almost any soil not prone to water logging.
