Dwarf Blue Rabbitbrush
Dwarf blue rabbitbrush is a very good choice where you want a small, tidy, flowering shrub that will tolerate low water conditions. It grows as a compact mound of silver-blue linear leaves for most of the summer.
In late summer, golden yellow flower clusters cover the plant and serve as a nectar source for insects and butterflies.
