Glory Brush

Glory Brush is a rare native shrub that grows in sandy places.

This species grows up to 7 feet tall, and does best in full sun with very low moisture and fast drainage.

Its blue to lavender flowers bloom from late winter to early summer, attracting several species of butterflies with its nectar, like the Gray Hairstreak and California Tortoiseshell.

Glory Brush is a great addition in the backdrop of gardens as a hedge or shrubby tree to add structure and color.
