Plant Description   Nearly all forms bear pungent, fine-textured gray-green to bluish white foliage valued for contrast with deeper foliage tones in gardens. Small white or yellow flowers in summer are inconspicuous on most species.  Shrubs vary from prostrate to mounding and require occasional pruning to maintain shape. Native forms are drought tolerant; all require well-drained soil.
