Powis Castle,' an evergreen shrub that forms mounding clusters and grows relatively quickly in Southern California. Cultivated primarily for its pleasant fragrance and visually appealing foliage, this shrub belongs to the Aster family. While it occasionally produces discreet yellow blooms, it is the soft, delicate-looking leaves that tend to capture people's attention due to their consistent presence. To ensure optimal growth, 'Powis Castle' prefers well-drained soil and thrives under full to partial sun exposure. It has moderate water needs that should be met accordingly. Maintaining the plant's desired shape requires annual upkeep, including shearing at the base to promote new growth. However, it is essential to remember that pruning or cutting back should be done while leaving some leaves below the cut. Without foliage in that area, the plant's health may deteriorate, leading to potential demise.
