Plant Specifics
4" pots, shipped bare root and wrapped carefully. This is an EXTREMELY xeric little plant. It needs a bit of water to establish but after that, be careful watering! It deeply resents wet feet. Looks like little mounds of vivid green rosemary - when it blooms, dozens of little pink beautiful flowers. Awesome drought tolerant plant! Attracts many little pollinators!
