    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    It was love at first sight when I saw this plant at Strybing Arboretum & was thrilled when I was able to find the seed for it. Growing to 1.5-2’ tall & wide, this South African native has little shiny dark green oval leaves on very uniform, multibranching upright stems. Small clusters of lovely lilac blue daisy flowers top each stem. I thought it had the most wonderful form & would look great in my garden & yours, too! Lightly prune back after flowering to keep compact & vigorous.
