Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This variant of our own western native comes from the central Sierra Nevada and Tuolomne county in the region of Italian Bar -- not a place for cocktails but rather a series of beautiful cliffs along the Stanislaus River where this lovely creature forms compact carpets of deep green, shiny foliage, spreading quickly and quite happily. A good contrast with lighter blue succulents or an understory of native shrubs and grasses. Quite summer drought tolerant. This we suspect is of USDA zone 6 frost hardiness.
