Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Evergreen perennial that looks more like a shrub 2-3’ tall and wide...a bizarre plant that sports little green flowers on the center of its leaves (both on top and below, distinguishing this species from others) but they are actually cladodes (pseudo leaves). This is THE plant for the darkest, driest spot you got...that place where nothing else grows? Give it occasional water to get it going. The stems will last in cut arrangements for a couple of month. Strangely cool and rare!
