Description
Intensely fragrant and showy clusters of waxy, white flowers appear in late spring on this shrub, with the added interest of flaking, reddish-brown bark. Heavy-textured, green foliage transforms to brilliant orange and pink tones in the autumn. This western native adds winter interest with its silvery silhouette. An excellent choice for dry conditions. Shrub. Xeriscape.
