Sun to semi-shade

Very hardy, evergreen, small to medium sized shrub with aromatic, grey leaves that is clump forming.  Clusters of unusual brown, funnel shaped flowers are borne from June to Dec. and when the flowers fall off a decorative, purplish calyx remains.  It is an attractive, easy plant to grow.  Plant in well-drained soil in full sun or semi-shade and water well in winter.  This tough plant tolerates very dry conditions and should not be over watered.
