Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An outrageously rare shrub that is perfect for bringing texture to the garden! Endemic to the Canary Islands, it reaches about 3-4’ tall and wide with pretty fern-like foliage that smells, surprisingly, like chrysanthemums – what can I say? Nature is magical. Produces an abundance showy upward-facing clusters of bright, cheerful yellow pom-pom flowers. Plant in a sunny spot with good drainage. Hardy to at least zone 9 – possibly lower.
