Woollybush, also known as Albany Woolly Bush

Woollybush is an upright shrub or small tree generally reaching heights of 6-10 feet (1.8-3 meters) with thin, feathery stems. Its foliage consists of soft, gray, needle-like leaves that are exceptionally smooth to the touch. These leaves can exhibit a pinkish hue when new. Unobtrusive red flowers periodically emerge at the leaf bases. The plant flourishes in well-draining soil and prefers full sun to partial shade conditions, depending on the temperature. It is notable for its soft foliage which feels silky, a characteristic alluded to in its species epithet.
