This beautiful native, evergreen shrub is known and admired for its gnarled branches, dense-crowned picturesque form, rich purple-red smooth bark which checkers and peels every season, and its delicate-pink urn-shaped blossoms. A signature plant of our region, it deserves a specimen location.

A floriferus densiflora hybrid, with leaves that are slightly more grey than the species. A hardy hybrid, very drought tollerant that tollerates clay soil as well. Use as a foundation planting or as a speciment. Attracts birds and bennifical insects.
