Nursery contributed plant descriptions
A brand-new, never-before-seen Galvezia! A chance seedling given to us as a gift from a thoughtful patron, this light pink Island Bush Snapdragon is enough to make even the most staunch-hearted squeal with delight. I can’t even tell you how perfect it is as a “talking flower”, just pinch its little cheeks and see for yourself. Best of all, this carefree California native can find a home in any garden - perfect for sand, clay, sun, shade and can even go without much water in cooler coastal regions. Forms an evergreen, mounding bush 3’ high by 4-5’ wide. Clusters of 1” flowers form on the tips of arching branches Spring through Fall, attracting oodles of hummingbirds.
