Hairy Canary Clover Shrub

Hairy Canary Clover Shrub

A supremely tough and drought tolerant evergreen ground cover from Portugal, the Hairy Canary Clover is a lovely little grey-leaved pea shrub that can tolerate the worst soil in your garden, so long as it is well draining and in a sunny spot. The white and pink flowers are very attractive and the star-shaped seed pods provide even more interest. Needs little supplemental water once established. Looks absolutely fabulous beneath an olive tree or cascading over a rock wall.
