Description

This beautiful shrub reaches 3' tall and wide, with interesting stems that are sienna colored. The small, dark blue green, evergreen leaves are striking against the colored stems. Small yellow flowers bloom from winter through spring. Irrigate this plant every 3-4 weeks after it's established, especially during the winter. Again, there is a striking contrast between the flower and the leaves. Butterflies love this shrub.

Water Saving Tip:

Even during our hottest months we don't need to water daily.

Give your plants a chance to breathe.

Water late at night or in the early morning hours to avoid losses to wind and evaporation.
