Berzelia lanuginosa
Compact erect shrub with dense small mid-green leaves. Rounded button-like heads of creamy white flowers in late spring and summer. Great for floral art. Plant in loose soil with adequate drainage, that does not get too dry. Needs a warm sunny site with minimal frost. Trim after flowering to maintain its shape.
