Dorycnium hirsutum Purple Flowers Loves cool coastal conditionsThis grey leaved, pea family sub shrub is a workhorse in the garden. Fuzzy ever silver leaves gleam in the sun; the flowers, pink and white, are subtle and attractive; and the glossy mahogany seeds pods provide a long season of interest. Excellent filler in the summer dry garden. To 2 feet tall x 2. 5 feet wide in full to part sun with lean, well drained soil and little supplemental summer water once established. Easy. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7.
