Add item to quote to see pricing

Cneoridium dumosum is a distinctive evergreen shrub, widely known as Bush Rue, that brings a touch of California's unique coastal charm to any landscape. Standing at 1-2 meters tall, this proud member of the "Rutaceae" family flaunts a full-bodied display of glossy, dark green leaves that not only glisten in the sun but imbue the air with a rich aromatic scent. As spring unfolds, it gifts us with delicate clusters of bright yellow flowers, later replaced by small, fiery red-orange berries that add a vibrant pop of color and cater to local birdlife. Bush Rue showcases strong resilience, thriving in full sunlight while needing little to scarce water, proving it's not just a looker but a hardy combatant in the face of drought. This plant transports the essence of southern coastal biodiversity into your garden, making it an effective, water-wise and visually appealing choice for landscaping and xeriscaping designs, all year round.
