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.
