Adam's Needle is a nearly stemless dwarf evergreen shrub with rigid sword-like dark green foliage with curling treads along the margins. A large central stalk rises in summer bearing long panicles of fragrant nodding creamy-white flowers followed by seed capsules. Best color with full sun and dry to medium well-drained soils. It is drought, salt, and shade tolerant.
