Nursery contributed plant descriptions
This Chilean evergreen shrub looks for all the world like a tall heather, but its tubular white flowers give it away as a tomato relation instead. An upright, multi-stemmed shrub, to 4-6 ft with tiny, needle-like leaves along the stem. Unusual, especially when covered with its tiny white tubes. Summer blooming in full to part sun with normal water. Cold hardy to 10F, USDA zone 8.
