Ptilotrichum \ Tiny Shrub Alyssum
Botanical Name: Ptilotrichum (Alyssum) spinosum
Life Cycle: Mulberry Miniatures
Description/Size:
New in 2006

Related to the bedding plant white alyssum, with the same white flowers, but the similarity ends there. Its thyme-sized, silvery gray leaves form a shrubby mound or can be shaped into a mini tree. The fun (for you sadist) is that the previous year's flowers become this year's prickly spines. RXR gardeners will get a kick out of this native of the Southern France to Spain region.
