Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A sweetly scented profusion of white (sometimes flushed lavender) blooms practically smother the handsome fresh green ferny foliage of this uncommon California native annual. And the bloomin' seems to go on forever – from mid-Spring to mid-Summer at least. About 14” tall and 20” across, it spills prettily out of a container or the edge of a bed and makes a welcome addition to a dry or native garden as it is drought resistant once established. Self-sows and fragrant cut flowers.
