Common Name: Woolly Bush

Sun Requirements: Thrives in full sun to partial shade. Full sun is preferred to encourage dense, compact growth and enhance the silver sheen of the foliage.

Planting: Ideal for planting in the cooler months of autumn or early spring. Prefers well-drained, sandy soil but can adapt to various soil types as long as they are well-drained.

Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a strong root system. Once established, 'Platinum PBR' is drought-tolerant, requiring only occasional watering during very dry periods.

Maintenance: Minimal pruning is needed. Prune lightly to shape the plant or to remove any dead or damaged branches. This cultivar is sensitive to heavy pruning, so it is best to trim conservatively.

Growth Profile:

• Height: Generally reaches up to 1.5 meters.
• Spread: Can spread approximately 1 meter.

Characteristics: 'Platinum PBR' is prized for its striking, dense silver foliage that provides year-round interest. This cultivar does not focus on flowering, allowing all its energy to go into producing and maintaining its lush, silvery leaves. It is especially well-suited for use in coastal gardens due to its salt tolerance and makes a beautiful addition to rockeries, mixed borders, or as a feature plant in residential gardens.
