Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An unusual and choice variety native to Texas and New Mexico which covers its branches with masses of pure white "pea" flowers in early spring before the glossy, heart-shaped, blue-green leaves give it its summer coat which then turns a lovely butter-yellow in fall. S-PSh/M/GDr
