Nursery contributed plant descriptions

From our friends at Dancing Oaks Nursery and collected on their property in the western Willamette Valley oak savannah comes this large growing, to 10' or more, coyote bush. An upright and sprawling shrub can be pruned to a very effective evergreen standard...or allowed to grow as an extremely large scale groundcover. Flowering often in late autumn and winter, a delight to our local pollinators and an extremely useful screen, hedge or bank cover. Sun and little or no water once established. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7.
