Gregg’s Dalea (Dalea greggii) is a low-growing, trailing sub-shrub known for its striking silvery, blue-green foliage and delicate, pea-shaped purple flowers. This groundcover reaches 4-9 inches in height and spreads 2-4 feet, making it ideal for covering rocky slopes or exposed areas in arid landscapes. Tolerant of dry, hot conditions, Gregg’s Dalea blooms from late spring through summer, adding subtle color to gardens and attracting bees and butterflies. With its beautiful foliage and drought resilience, it’s a valuable addition to any low-water landscape.
