    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    From rocky riverbank terraces of New Zealand's south island comes our selection of what looks more like a blue stemmed broom then wire grass. Mounding or spilling to about 18" x well, really wide. Superb container or wall plant. Full to part sun, easy care, but prefers a bit of summer water where dry. Zone 8, probably into 7.
