Royal robe

Royal robe is a resilient shrub thriving in coastal regions. It boasts a fan-shaped array of lilac-blue flowers, a signature trait, which often garners attention along sandy dunes. The waxy green foliage is adapted to withstand salty sea sprays and intense sunlight, contributing to the plant's hardy nature. Its ground-covering growth habit makes it essential for stabilizing fragile shorelines.
