    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Our collection from Bita Hai in Yunnan at 11000' from a plant 5' high having an exceptionally long and dense seed head. This will have creamy flowers with pale yellow tones in a "bottlebrush" sort of arrangement. A not unpleasant muskiness to the foliage might keep the deer at bay.
