Nursery contributed plant descriptions
An Archibald collection north of Moni, Crete at 125m, it's one of the most outstanding chasmophytes native to the limestone gorges of Crete and actually growable, although virtually unobtainable to all but members of the inner circle. Well maybe I should rephrase that; elite growers with Archibald's skill stand a chance of keeping it alive. A dwarf shrubby legume it forms 20-30cm high compact plants with silky grayish white foliage and dense racemes of bright pink flowers with papery silvery bracts. ZONE 6
