Nursery contributed plant descriptions

NEW! Fantastic chalky blue foliage distinguishes this awesome Aussie… 12-18" tall, slowly spreading clump; evergreen in warmer climates; flowers on taller stems in summer, airy clusters of small periwinkle stars with yellow centers and with enough heat, elongated marble size berries of turquoise-purple. Sun to lt shade; a winter protected spot is advised, but reputedly hardy to 15 – 20 degrees. Also pretty in pots! You know the drill for Aussies…well drained soil is essential…average water on this one (takes some drought when established).
