Nursery contributed plant descriptions

From South Africa, one of the few hardy euryops. An evergreen shrub, fast growing to 4-6 ft tall, densely leaved at the tops of branches, bare below. Masses of bright, showy yellow flowers are produced in late winter to early spring -- great food for bees and butterflies, good cheer for gardeners. Full sun with only occasional, deep watering. Frost hardy to 10F, USDA zone 8.

This very vigorous shrub has finely dissected, bright green leaves and small yellow flowers. It likes sun and is super easy to grow, tolerating moist or dry conditions. The occasional haircut will maintain dense growth. It also makes a good container plant. One of those mild-winter plants, and not for the backbone of your garden, it is hardy to about 22 °F.
