Description

This attractive and reliable plant is an evergreen shrub 4'-5' tall and wide. Creamy, white bell-shaped flowers bloom in fall through spring, attracting hummingbirds. This shrub has oval, 1" long, grayish green, hairy foliage. 'Ivory Bells' tolerates full sun in coastal areas but will need afternoon shade in warm, inland areas. It can grow in full shade under oaks. It does best with well draining soil. Once established, it needs occasional irrigation during summer.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
