A supremely tough and drought tolerant evergreen ground cover from Portugal, the Hairy Canary Clover is a lovely little grey-leaved pea shrub that can tolerate the worst soil in your garden, so long as it is well draining and in a sunny spot.
A beautiful and useful multi-purpose shrub, Tea Oil Camellia has been valued for centuries for its tea seed oil which can be used as a sweet seasoning and cooking oil. Oleic acid is present in the seed, making up 80% of the total fatty acid content and is very similar to olive oil.
One of our favorite spillers for walls or terraces, Trailing Irene Rosemary grows only 6 inches or so high but spreads up to 6 feet! Makes a lovely evergreen spiller over a wall or rock, or can be grown as a ground cover under your new fruit tree. Pairs especially well with figs and olives and suppresses any weeds that might try to pop up. Flowers are a beautiful light blue and cover the plant in spring.
