    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Fabo member of the “carrotaceae”...from the chilly hinterlands of NZ looking ravishingly xeric. Clumps, 18” x 3 ft, of evergreen, dagger-like leaves tinted a lively blue support umbelled, pale cream flowers in mid summer. Prefers mineral soil, good drainage, bright light and cool feet - say on a north slope with gravel cover for coolth and even moisture. Frost hardy to USDA zone 8 on the West Coast.
