Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Hailing from Chile, this plant nevertheless does very well here in our garden. In a recent winter we did get down to just under 0?F and it made it through! Profuse, pure white, saucer-like flowers bloom in May and June. Soft, semi-evergreen, three-pointed leaves have a slight grayish cast and a felted appearance; it's quite possibly deer-resistant. It attracts bees! butterflies! hummingbirds! and is even suitable as a houseplant! (Amenable to pruning!) It needs water during hot spells and will grow up to 6' tall and bushy - has some real presence!
Minimum temperature: 10°F
