Common Name: Woolly Bush

Sun Requirements: Prefers full sun to partial shade. Full sun is ideal for promoting vibrant foliage color and maintaining a compact growth form.

Planting: Best planted in the cooler months of autumn or early spring. Thrives in well-drained, sandy soil but is adaptable to a range of soil types as long as they have good drainage.

Watering: Water regularly during the plant's first growing season to establish a deep and healthy root system. Once established, 'Dwarf Platinum' is drought-tolerant, needing only occasional watering during extended dry spells.

Maintenance: Requires minimal pruning. Light trimming can be done to maintain its shape and encourage denser growth. This variety is sensitive to heavy pruning, so care should be taken to prune lightly and infrequently.

Growth Profile:

• Height: Typically grows up to about 1 meter.
• Spread: Generally spreads about 0.5 meters.

Characteristics: 'Dwarf Platinum' is known for its soft, silvery-grey foliage that adds a unique texture and color to garden settings. It does not flower significantly, making its foliage the main aesthetic feature. Its compact size makes it ideal for small gardens, rockeries, or as part of mixed borders, and it's particularly effective in coastal gardens due to its salt tolerance.
