Nursery contributed plant descriptions

As the name would suggest this vigorous shrub has rather prickly leaves. We haven't seen the flowers yet but we expect they will be white. This collection from Mt. Imlay, NSW was shared with us by our friends Graham and Heather Milligan of Milligan Seeds. This is a new plant for us but we think it might be hardy to about 10 – 15 °F.
