    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Jim Jeryms from Scotland was out recently and we had some interesting discussions about Kew, which have nothing to do with this broom; I'm just easily distracted. More to the point x kewensis is a cross between C. ardoinii and C. multiflorus, only 12-18 inches high and spreading to 6 feet or more 1-3 creamy yellow flowers in the axils.
