This fast growing perennial quickly reaches 4' tall and wide, with a round habit. Leaves are bright green, evergreen, fragrant when bruised and coarsely divided. In coastal areas, this plant blooms year round with daisy-like flowers with yellow centers. This plant is found in different shades of yellow or white or pink.

Water Saving Tip:
Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
