This native shrub has aromatic, softly hairy, lance-shaped to oval, gray-green to yellowish green leaves. Its flowers, which bloom in spring, are white with a lavendar tint. It grows 3-8 feet tall and 3-6 feet wide. If kept dry, it may drop leaves in the summer. It prefers sun along the coast but light shade inland and thrives in most well-drained soils.
