Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Very similar to its close relative concinnum with the same strong growth habit and constitution. This species differs in having yellow flowers. Easy in sun or shade and perfect with any of the blue-purple trifloras. The leaves are white-glaucous beneath and it tends to be more compact in habit than its close relatives. From seed collected in the wild.
