About this Plant
Cneorum Convolvulus (Convolvulus cneorum), commonly known as Silverbush or Bush Morning Glory, is an exquisite Mediterranean shrubby perennial treasured for its spectacular combination of gleaming silver-white foliage and pure white, funnel-shaped flowers with delicate soft yellow centers. The intensely silvery, silky leaves shimmer in sunlight year-round, creating a luminous, reflective quality in the garden that few other plants can match. From spring through summer — and often into fall — an abundance of pristine white blooms open daily in the morning sun, creating a constantly refreshed floral display against the breathtaking silver foliage backdrop.
These Professional Grade 4" plants are grown to the highest nursery standards, delivering well-rooted specimens that establish quickly in sunny, well-drained locations. Convolvulus cneorum is a superb choice for Mediterranean gardens, coastal landscapes, rock gardens, raised beds, dry borders, and patio containers where its striking silver foliage and pure white blooms can be fully appreciated. It thrives with minimal water once established and is highly tolerant of heat, wind, and coastal salt spray.
- Dazzling Silver Foliage Year-Round: Intensely silver, silky leaves shimmer and reflect light throughout all seasons, providing exceptional textural contrast and luminosity in the garden even when not in bloom.
- Pure White Blooms Spring Through Fall: An abundance of pristine white funnel-shaped flowers with soft yellow centers open daily from spring through summer, with repeat blooming extending into fall.
- Heat, Drought & Coastal Tolerant: Thrives in hot, dry, and coastal conditions with excellent tolerance for salt spray, wind, and poor soils — an outstanding choice for challenging Mediterranean-climate sites.
- Striking Contrast Plant: The silver foliage creates outstanding contrast alongside green-leaved plants, colorful perennials, and ornamental grasses, making it an invaluable design element in mixed borders and containers.
- Low Maintenance & Long-Lived: Requires minimal care once established — no deadheading needed, tolerates lean soils, and maintains its attractive mounding habit with only occasional light trimming.
These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun with fast-draining, lean to average soil. Water regularly until established, then reduce to occasional deep watering. Hardy in USDA Zones 8–11; mature height 18–24 inches with a spread of 24–36 inches. Blooms spring through fall. Avoid heavy clay or poorly drained soils. Light shearing after the main bloom flush encourages a tidy habit and continued flowering.
