Badassi Canary Clover
A relative of the beloved and always useful Hairy Canary Clover, the Badassi Canary Clover grows as a woody shrublet with silver blue foliage and dainty white flowers. A tough, relatively long lived and drought tolerant nitrogen fixer, it is easy to grow and a useful plant, especially in poorer soils. While the species is often described as a prostrate shrub, (growing along the ground), we’ve found this plant to be very much upright growing with many branches and a fine silvery texture.
