Cneorum Convolvulus (Convolvulus cneorum), commonly known as Silverbush or Bush Morning Glory, is an exquisite Mediterranean shrubby perennial treasured for its spectacular combina tion of gleaming silver-white foliage and pure white, funnel-shaped flowers with delicate soft yellow centers. The intensely silvery, silky leaves shimmer in sunlight year-round, creating a luminous, reflective quality in the garden that few other plants can match.
