Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Shared with us by UK plantsman Nick Macer, this one of his wild collections, forms a roughly 24'-30" rounded evergreen shrub, with silvery green leaves, folded especially with drought into an almost tube-like structure. The lemon yellow spring flowers complement the foliage beautifully. As with other Mediterranean plants, its best with lean soil, summer drought, bright light. USDA zone 7b.
