Handsome foliage-shrub for full sun in dry, well drained soils, where its vigorous bright appearance makes bold contrast among cistus and lavender. Furnished with heavily silvered shield-shaped leaves. To control shape and size and ensure plentiful fresh foliage, prune in spring, and again lightly in July. A modicum of interest is generated by the brown flowers produced towards the end of the year..
Atriplex halimus
