Medium, sprawling shrub native to Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, to 5-6′ tall and wide with wooly, gray-green leaves and crisp white, whorled flowers that sit just atop the foliage throughout the year, with the heaviest bloom in late spring. Best in full sun with well-drained soil, but can adapt to semi-shade areas, too. Requires very little summer watering once established. Frost hardy to upper USDA zone 7. Deer tolerant. Cut back spent flower stems after blooming to encourage more flowers.
