Lotus hirsutus is a semi-evergreen shrub with soft, silver-grey leaves that is both drought tolerant and loves the sun.
The leaves are small, silver-grey, soft and fuzzy.
Clusters of pale pink pea- flowers appear in the summer and autumn.
Particularly adapted to withstand periods of drought – largely due to the soft duvet on her leaves – this bush can create a lovely softness on a windowsill or in a garden.
TIPS: Looks particularly magnificent next to a Salvia, an Origanum or any of the Euphorbias.
The Tales:
