Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This is the euc that one sees most frequently in floral arrangements and wreaths (though many species can be used!). Its round, silvery, stem-clasping juvenile leaves are also nice on a live garden plant! Seed collected in Seattle from an outstanding vigorous specimen with a fabulous horizontal growth habit! It should also be quite cold-hardy. 12 °F.
