Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Waratao, this large growing proteid to 10' or more, from the Gerdiman garden in Yachats, OR, has weird and wonderful pinkish red flowers off and on nearly any time of the year, especially in late winter and midsummer, and narrow, blue-green evergreen leaves. Well-drained soil, best sloping away from the sun, especially in warmer regions. Avoid phosphorous fertilizers, we suggest alfalfa meal. USDA zone 8b, will flower well in container.
