Description

Dwarf Karo captures all the rugged, coastal-adapted charm of the species in a perfectly proportioned, low-growing package. It forms a dense, spreading mound of the same iconic thick leaves with striking white undersides. The new growth emerges a beautiful yellow-green, adding seasonal interest. Exceptionally tolerant of salt, wind, and drought, this tough little shrub is ideal for creating low, sculptural hedges, stabilizing slopes, or adding unique texture to rock gardens and containers in challenging sites.

• Compact Form with Iconic Foliage: Maintains the species’ thick, leathery leaves with felted white undersides but in a low, dense, spreading mound (2-3 ft tall, 4-6 ft wide).

• Colorful New Growth: New leaves emerge a bright yellow-green, providing a lovely contrast against the mature dark green and white foliage.

• Extreme Environmental Toughness: Inherits exceptional tolerance for salt spray, wind, drought, and poor, sandy soils.

• Excellent Low Hedge or Groundcover: Perfect for defining pathways, fronting borders in coastal gardens, or as a unique, textural groundcover.

• Low Maintenance & Pest-Free: Requires minimal water once established and is free from serious pest or disease issues.
