Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Eye candy for the enquiring eye! Very floriferous, EASY and rare, this fanciful So. Cal wildflower serves up a delightful bouncy cloud (at least 20” x 20”) of bloom over a long season – May to October! An unusual orchid color, the 3/4” starry flowers sport eye-popping bright turquoise anthers and pollen! The foliage is lovely, too – a flat, ferny-lacy rosette to 12” across. Terrific in a container for up-close admiration and perfect for a well-drained garden or edge of bed. Self-sows!
