Velvet Shield is an eye-catching evergreen shrub with velvety, silvery-green leaves that have a soft, woolly texture, giving the plant its unique name. This plant can reach up to 1 m in height and spread to about 1 m wide, making it perfect for adding texture and interest to garden beds, borders, or containers. Velvet Shield produces pale yellow flowers in autumn and winter, which add a subtle contrast to the foliage. It thrives in a warm, sheltered spot with partial to full shade and prefers well-drained soil. Ideal for shaded garden areas or as an indoor plant in bright, indirect light.
