Convolvulus cneorum is an evergreen, dwarf shrub featuring shimmering, silvery-green foliage and masses of trumpet-shaped white flowers with yellow centers. Best suited for dry, sunny, and coastal gardens. It does well as an accent plant, a low informal hedge, border filler, or a rock garden specimen. Its water use is low; drought-resistant once established. Requires sharply drained, gritty, sandy, or loamy soil. It prefers neutral to alkaline pH levels and will suffer from crown rot in heavy clay or waterlogged winter soil. Best in full sun to maintain its tight shape and heavy blooming. It has low shade tolerance, becoming leggy and sparse in part shade. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Fire-resistant. Cold hardy to 10°F.
