Image by: Kevin Sparrow
A hardy small spreading shrub with small narrow mid-green leaves that have a grey downy underside that grows to approximately 0.2 metres and spreads to one metre. This shrub produces small clusters of deep pink 'spider'flowers in autumn to spring and will tolerate extended dry periods once established, however it will produce more flowers when watered regularly. It grows best in full sun to light shade, well-drained soils and will attract small birds and insects to the garden.
