Nursery contributed plant descriptions

From a wonderful group of plants, indeed woody monkey flowers, inhabiting dry cliffs from western Oregon to the northern Baja, this with vibrant tangerine flowers fading to peach and glossy, mid-green foliage on plants to about 3' in height. Tolerant of great summer drought though will remain growing and flowering with summer water. Bright light for best flowering. Reliably frost hardy between 15 and 20 °F, mid USDA zone 8, though stressed plants are a little bit tougher.
