Becoming one of our favorites in the genus... Bold foliaged shrub reaching 8 ft or more with 4-6” leathery blue-tinted leaves which are sure to make you swoon. Fragrant, orange blossom colored flowers in April and May, but its texture is its real selling point. This collection has been particularly frost hardy, withstanding temperatures into upper USDA zone 7. Prefers at least some summer water in the west, even when established, and is happy in shade to full sun; though at its most graceful with at least some afternoon shade.
