Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Creamy-yellow 3" powder-puff flowers cover this finely-textured, needle-leaved shrub ?like fireflies? in early summer but it?s a handsome 3-4' evergreen all year, drought-tolerant and hardier than its Australian parents. S/M/GDr
Fun and very hardy selection that has willowy and twisting branchlets sporting 2" light yellow flower brushes on the branch tips all pointing willy-nilly for wild Medusal effect with a long bloom period on older plants. Happy in nearly any soil and happiest with regular water. Not deer fodder.
