Description
Convolvulus cneorum 'Silvery Moon', commonly known as Silverbush, is a compact, evergreen groundcover renowned for its soft, silvery leaves that add a touch of brightness to garden beds and pots. This cultivar creates a low, spreading mound, ideal for filling spaces in rockeries, borders, or even coastal gardens. Thriving in Perth’s full sun to part shade, 'Silvery Moon' makes a versatile choice, particularly effective for areas that require drought tolerance and a visually soft contrast against darker plants.
From Kambarang (Late Spring) to Birak (Early Summer), 'Silvery Moon' produces delicate white flowers with a pink tint that open each morning and close by evening, attracting pollinators and adding seasonal charm. It prefers well-draining sandy or loamy soils and requires minimal water once established, needing only occasional watering during extended dry periods. With its low-maintenance needs and resilience, 'Silvery Moon' is perfect for water-wise and low-care gardens.
