Good plant #127 - Brachyglottis Monroi


If you've got a very dry sunny spot, this small evergreen shrub is a great do-er. It's got lovely green wavy-edged leaves with a silver underside as well as a profusion of flowers in summer.

They are best given a sheer in spring to maintain the shape.

It must have a sunny spot and well-drained soil but is very drought tolerant. It's great for a gravel border.

Cuttings are best taken in late summer.
