Dusty Zenobia
Zenobia pulverulenta ‘Woodlander’s Blue’
The name Zenobia comes from a very early royal of Palmyra, Queen Zenobia. We imagine she was elegant, regal, and a bit of a character, just like this fabulous shrub! Dusty Zenobia is a beautiful member of the heath family, evidenced by its bell-shaped flowers that emerge large, white, and fragrant in spring. In summer, its waxy, bluish foliage adds depth to the landscape and fall brings striking reddish-purple fall color. ‘Woodlander’s Blue’ is a selection with particularly dreamy dusty blue leaves, giving it an ethereal glow.
