Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Another hybrid that deserves wider use, this shrub to 8' or more is somewhat similar in habit to 'Poorinda Constance' but a little bit denser, with greener leaves. The outstanding feature is the flowers, which are yellow with bright red stamens, a unique combination that has to be seen to be appreciated! Plant it where in can be viewed up close. A vigorous grower, it will appreciate full sun and tolerates drought or difficult sites. Hardy to about 10 °F.
