Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Like the other onosmas we offer, about twelve inch stems of rather attractive pale yellow flowers over a very long period over the course of the summer. The foliage on this one is rather the nicest of the species we grow - the leaves are shorter and more round than the others and a very attractive pewter silver color. From the Himalayas, which usually means fussy, but this one doesn't seem to be phased by hot summers, and is reportedly hardy to zone 4. All in all, a lovely little plant for a rock garden and well worth growing.
