The Story
Common Name: Silverbush
Latin Name: Convolvulus cneorum
Plant Type: Evergreen shrub
Description: A compact, evergreen shrub with silky, silver-grey foliage that gives it a soft, luminous appearance. In late spring to early summer, it produces masses of pure white, funnel-shaped flowers with pale yellow centres, creating a bright and elegant display.
Garden Impact: Ideal for borders, gravel gardens, or Mediterranean-style planting, where it adds contrast and texture. Its silver foliage pairs beautifully with darker plants and helps reflect light in sunny areas.
Light & Water Requirements: Thrives in full sun in well-drained soil and is highly drought tolerant once established.
Size (Fully Grown): Approximately 60–100cm tall and wide, forming a neat, rounded shrub.
