Zenobia pulveralenta

 

Dusty Zenobia is a deciduous to evergreen shrub in the Ericaceae family. It likes full sun to part shade and can get up to ten feet tall in ideal conditions. In late spring to early summer, cream to white cup shaped flowers point downward, similar to blueberries. Dusty Zenobia can handle wetter soils, making it at home in the wetter areas in your garden. Don’t have wet areas in your garden? Don’t worry about it, because this plant can handle dry and compact soil as well.
