This northern collection of what appears to be burl-forming comes from Shasta County in the southern Siskiyou’s. This plant, to 4-6ft in height, with narrow powder-blue leaves, beautifully set amid red stems and warm orange bark on older wood. Light pink flowers in midwinter. Prefers mineral soil, bright light, and very little summer water (or when temperatures are warm). Can be cut back severely and re-sprout (if your significant other gets carried away with the chainsaw on the weekend). USDA zone 6, possibly colder.
