Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Rare plant from New Zealand, largely confined to catchment of the Clarence River, growing on slopes and valley floors from 3,600-5,000 ft in Nelson, Marlborough and N. Canterbury Mountains -- and, indeed, looking very much like pickle weed. A densely branched little "whipcord" -- usually under 15" -- with spring green leaves and white flowers in early summer on upright branchlets. A very architectural little plant that adds great texture to containers. Sun to part sun, good drainage and normal water. Has been reported frost hardy into upper USDA zone 7.
